Would you be able to rebuild > gtk2-x11 to fix this? Thanks! To remove the -export-symbols option and make the DLL to export all symbols (also the private)? Hmmm, I'm no friend of using .def files at all, but I'm not sure if is the right thing to simply export all symbols. The application authors should not use private symbols. If there is need to use those functions and there are no public functions which do the same thing, then they may go to the GTK folks and convince them that the specific function should be made public instead of private. What do the GTK developers say about the private / public functions issue, was there discussion on the GTK lists already? What do the application authors say? Simply "Rebuild your GTK if these symbols are not available"?
