I'd expect we very deliberately moved to freetype 2 because of a bug.

I got a working GTK build which definately didn't have Python although I
suspect it probably should have.  I cannot say I paid much attention to
any warnings (beyond the ones I already mentioned) because I got a working
build.  I should all the -devel stuff installed on my system which might
have made a difference (i haphazardly tried to install just about
everything Gnome related).

Is it possible that although we both have "Fedora Core 2" we are not
running exactly the same thing?  I burned CDs and installed it just a few
weeks ago.

Are there any details you would like me to double check?
(My machine with Fedora Core on it is not connected to the internet,
checking details takes time).
