Subject: bug#4134: 23.1; Buffer Tab not being linked properly
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2009 22:21:50 -0400

I figured out what the problem is.  I'm running slackware 12.2 which no
longer supports gnome.  To have gnome, I use the garnome build system
(which basically installs everything gnome needs into a separate tree).
Since, some (usually older) components exist in the system, garnome uses
environment variables like PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to make sure that
the garnome versions of various libraries, programs are found first.

When I build basic system utilities (emacs is one of them), I break out
of garnome (by unsetting environment variables) and build/install.  As
such emacs links against slackware's libs.  Even so, running in the
garnome environment still worked, until now.  In fact, my problem goes
away if I run in the garnome-free environment, and I can hack a fix, by
calling emacs from a script.

Since I'm usually running gnome, I rebuilt emacs in the garnome
environment.  The build completed, but the resulting emacs has the
problem.  My bet is that one of the more recent gnome libs (probably gtk
+) is at fault.  I'm using gtk+2.17.8 here.  

Any suggestions how to pin this down?  I build garnome with -O2 -g so
debugging sessions are possible.

Here's  a list of the garnome versions used by emacs:
