When building this package, I got some strange output from configure:

#################################################################

Warning: The "pkg-config" program produces errors. This often causes

detection of the various GTK libraries to malfunction. The errors are:

(pkg-config:12401): GLib-CRITICAL : g_string_append: assertion 'val != NULL' failed

#################################################################

This does make configure return with a code other than 0, so my script crashes here. If I just run 'make' though afterwards, everything is OK, and the package works fine.

There is another bug in the Makefile, but it gets gracefully ignored:

update-icon-caches /usr/share/icons
make[1]: update-icon-caches: No such file or directory
make[1]: [Makefile:609: install-gnome] Error 127 (ignored)
update-icon-caches /usr/share/pixmaps
make[1]: update-icon-caches: No such file or directory
make[1]: [Makefile:610: install-gnome] Error 127 (ignored)

I don't think the syntax would be correct either if it moved to gtk-update-icon-cache. The package does function the way that it's supposed to so I'll proceed with the upgrade, but just documenting these problems here.
