Hi
I'm using the Pronto mail program (www.muhri.net/pronto) which is done
in Perl and uses gtk-perl to do the widgetry and gtkhtml as an optional
mail-reading interface for HTML display.
The problem is that whenever I start pronto with the perl-GTK-GtkHTML
from mandrake I get the following error:
---
gtkhtml-ERROR **: gconf is not initialized, please call gconf_init before using
GtkHTML library
aborting...

This is a cooker system, updated completely about 10 mirutes ago

I talked this up with the pronto developers and they told me that it
was an error in how perl-GTK-GtkHTML is compiled in Mandrake (RH doesn't have
this problem, neither does debian, as far as we have gathered from other Pronto
users).
I even discussed this with a Mandrake packager/developer a few weeks
back (unfortunately don't have the emails anymore :( and I think that he agreed
that it seemed to be an error on perl-GTK-GtkHTML's packaging (and I say "I
think" is because notoriously his native language wasn't english, so I may have
been confused :)
Anyway..I'd love to see this bug fixed.
