I had used the same Makefile and linked hello with the same libraries as the gtk application. removing -lgdk from the list of libraries reduces the size to reasonable 5k What is wrong with libgtk1.2 that it bloats binaries compiled dynamically against it? The 1.2.3-0.slink1 version does it right. The 1.2.3-1 version bloats the hello world program Nils -- Plug-and-Play is really nice, unfortunately it only works 50% of the time. To be specific the "Plug" almost always works. --unknown source
