I just updated to the ones I should have been using, r20 from inkscape.modevia.org. r14 is what the download was at the time (I guess it's still so), and r16 included new GTK libraries (even if they're now out of date). The instructions on the Win32Port page said to update, but I forgot to. So "I apologise for any inconvenince caused", but it's fixed now :-)
I'll try updating the GTK once more after this, based on r20 instead of r14, to see if it's any better. But we should be able to release 0.47 for Windows with the *real* current binaries and have it work now, which is good.

Forgot to reply to all again... anyway, new news is http://inkscape.chrismorgan.info/win32-builds/Inkscape-0.47pre2-2.exe with the updated devlibs. I'd especially like this tested with graphics tablets to see if the updated GTK version (not the newest, but newer) fixes that problem with them not working as extended input devices.
Chris,
It appears that this fixes the tablet issues on win32, even the bamboo issues which have been a problem for a while. Were the libs done in-place, or did you and Bob officially update the libs for all win32 builders? If it's not official yet, we really need to do this for 0.47 and should push to get it done as soon as possible. Please let me know the status on this and thanks for getting that build made!
Cheers, Josh
