It presumably had no effect on the compilation. (2) The "--with-gtk" option is indeed what produces the problem I was describing. I'm told this is an incompatibility with the "gtk-engines-qt" package, and that I need to upgrade to version 0.7 (currently I have version 0.60-1.1ubuntu7, which is the latest for the "dapper" distribution I'm using).
