No, to rebuild everything that depends on gtk+.

A desktop development machine running XFCE. I'm basically
trying to duplicate an install I did about a month ago.

Me too. It tring to get GTK and associated stuff working
that's wasted an entire day.

How? Using a different distro?

About a half-dozen packages I emerged today either failed to
configure, failed to build, or didn't work after they were
installed. I've started masking current versions of problem
packages and I'm now rebuilding X11/GTK/XFCE and a few other
things for the 3rd or 4th time.

Eventually, I should have most of the package vesions rolled
back to the working combination on my month-old install, but
the process is going to end up taking several days of work.
