Re: vi & gtk-2 questions

Thanks for the vim advice.  

Regarding the gtk=>gtk2 question, I mean that there are a lot of
useful applications (like xmms) that have been written with gtk-1.x and
they don't support Arabic filenames at present.  I wanted to recompile
it with gtk2 and was hoping that someone could save me some time by
outlining any gotchas they know of.
