There were some threading bugs in some early versions of gtk+
(specifically with events_pending() and mainiteration()). You should
really use gtk+ >= 1.2.4. I should have this check in the configure
script.
The other possible difference between the mandrake is if one was compiled
with threading and the other wasn't.
