This demonstrates a workaround (not truely a 'solution') to lp:494140. With this patch, all gtk tools can be run under xandros, a debian-etch based OS supplied by asus.
It is not clear whether any vital functionality is lost by this patch: the author does not have access to a recent debian install for comparison purposes.
Rejection of this merge proposal in favour of a solution understood and supported by the developers will be a satisfactory outcome.
