[brian@aquila brian]$ rpm -vq gtk2 gtk2-devel
gtk2-2.0.6-8
gtk2-devel-2.0.6-8

    Well, I'm not supposed to; this started as a re-install of 8.0, and then upgraded only from apt.  I don't want to get too close to the bleeding edge again.

   No, I'm pretty careful about those; I've had that problem before. Any other ideas?
