Fantastic!

Now you have gtk-dev too, so Emacs will use the GTK+ `widgets' for
displaying its menu, context menus when you right-click with a mouse,
and neat GTK+ based buttons.

Now is the time to run `make distclean', or extract a clean tarball of
the Emacs sources and build everything with this latest version of a
build-environment you have installed.

Great progress :-)
