Having slept on it, I think that it makes sense to require 2.4. PCB requires it right now, and that means that folks using the CD installer must have it anyway. GTK 2.2 was last used on Fedora Core 1, as far as I can tell. (I tend to think in terms of Red Hat releases ... not as au courant as Debian I admit). Since FC5 is in the release process right now, it has been a couple of releases since GTK-2.4 was shipped with FC. FC1 is growing old, and we can tell people to upgrade. I will look around to see if I can find an old CD from 2004 or so. That way, we can point people to it if they have an older system & still want to use gEDA/PCB. They'll just have to live without all the new features. Too bad for them! Stuart
