My best guess is that imlib-gdk doesn't depend on imlib-base (and all
the gnome stuff depends only on imlib-gdk). But there may be a reason
for this (maybe the dependencies are supposed to be somewhere else),
which is why I say that I don't know what package to file a bug against.

Thanks - installing every gtk-engine package I could find solved the
problem (although it probably was the pixmap or gradient one, or both).

Thanks again,
