I can apreciate that, it's just that I thought GTK wasn't supported anymore on Win9x at all (not sure about WinNT 4 though). If you know of anyone who can test with such systems I wouldn't mind seeing if the code I mailed later does work on such systems.
Not quite that it's not supported anymore, but that there're some bugs preventing the Win32 version from working on 9x, and no programmer bodies to take time chasing those down.
I believe there are still some Windows 9x users who are able to get Inkscape running with older versions of Gtk by mixing and matching the necessary DLLs. This works because more recent version Gtk+ requires Cairo but Inkscape doesn't yet, but does require other recent improvements in Gtk.
