I had to backport libgtk2.0 version 2.10 from debian unstable to fix:

http://www.64studio.com/ticket/289

you can find the dev package at:

deb http://apt.64studio.com/backports etch main

or at this direct link:

http://apt.64studio.com/backports/pool/main/g/gtk+2.0/

I'll eventually include in the testing branch, but I have first to
figure out how exactly, as it would pull in a number of dependencies
which would increase a lot the size of the ISO.

Ciao,
