[sylpheed:34428] Sylpheed runtime behavior

[heymanj at acm.org]

Yamamoto san,

I have just compiled sylpheed 3.1.0 on two different versions of Mandriva
Linux.  One is an older system, 2008.0, the other newer 2009.1.  There is
a behaviorial difference that I noticed.  I'm reporting it to find out 
whether it's a dependency issue or not.

Mandriva 2008.0:
(list of message panel not updating after a Get - code up through 3.1.0beta6 
 did, rc and official release did not)
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.16... yes
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.4.0... yes (version 2.14.1)
checking for glib-genmarshal... /usr/bin/glib-genmarshal
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.4.0... yes (version 2.12.1)

Ctrl-Alt-U fixes the problem, but needs to be a separate action done each time 
one does a 'Get' :-(  Stepping back to 3.1.0beta6 makes the problem go away.

Mandriva 2009.1:
(working just fine beta6, rc, and official)
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.16... yes
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.4.0... yes (version 2.20.1)
checking for glib-genmarshal... /usr/bin/glib-genmarshal
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.4.0... yes (version 2.16.1)

They use different versions of gcc, but as far as I can tell the gtk+ code 
is most critical to sylpheed.

Your thoughts, suggestions, and ideas are welcome.

Thanks again for a wonderful tool.

Sincerely,

Jerry Heyman
