I spent some more time yestereday trying to dig into things and discovered that I have quite a few gnome programs that are linked to libraries in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg. Including lots that use atk.so.200 ... the funny thing is they are also use atk.so.400 as well. Should I delete the contents of /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg and rebuild these packages? Could that be the cause of the problems? Rgds/mark
