Tried to selfupdate today. No difference.

The missing symbols appear to be X symbols and not gtk related. But I 
could be wrong.

Is there any estimated time frame when this might be done ? The project 
can insist on users installing the full 1.15GB MacTeX 2008 package 
(which is pretty static) if you want - this dependence on an 
unmaintained, large, separate piece of code, which offers users nothing, 
and will cause problems in a few months (as texlive diverges more and 
more from it), is a major problem. I am deploying a custom Mac 
configuration with the tools I need on an old notebook with limited disk 
space, and wasting space on something like this, for which I see no 
cogent reason, appears criminal to me.

I do not presume to criticize the work, which is splendid in itself, and 
made the thought of using Mac on a notebook less daunting, but I find 
this aspect of this business a little surprising.

Ok.
