Hi Ken,

Frankly, I've always trusted _my_ stuff better than what Firefox
(of any stripe) provides internally.
Unfortunately, for a quick and dirty solution - which was the case
for me today - there's no such "free lunch" as a little switch
like "--enable-apng" in configure.
Short of that, for the long run, there should be a patch solution for >= 1.5.1.

FWIW, as of today, GTK+ is at 3.0.4.
If you have the time and inclination, I'd suggest you go to
the gtk archive,
  mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-list
and take a quick look at the March threads,
"GTK+ 2.24.3" and "GTK+-2 Fails on compiling the Documentation branch"

Might be fun(?) and instructive(?)

Thanks,
-- Alex
