Heck, it needs to be fixed to provide a *general* way of handling "-R",
rather than just having a hack specific to the X libraries, in addition
to handling OSes other than SunOS 5.x.

Unfortunately, the way we get "-R" for libraries other than the X
libraries is from "gtk-config" - which doesn't even handle *Solaris*
correctly; I had to hack it by hand to stick the damn "-R" flag in - I
didn't come up with a particularly obvious way of getting the GTK+
installation/configuration process to automatically put the right stuff
into "gtk-config" when it builds it from "gtk-config.in".

Given that, you'll probably have problems with *other* GTK+ programs; if
you can fix "gtk-config", do so, otherwise you'll probably have to work
around this problem for other GTK+ programs as well.
