	So - James Henstridge kindly reports that:

You should be able to fix it by passing the following arguments to libtool:
    -export-symbols symbolsfile

Where the symbols file contains:
  g_module_init
  theme_init
  theme_exit
  theme_create_rc_style

No other symbols need be exported by the theme engine.

	for gtk2 - with the same problem.

	Using a similarly cut-down link-map on all your plugins would shrink
your plugin size, & speedup linking [ you are passing
G_MODULE_BIND_LOCAL to g_module_open right ? ;-]

	HTH,

		Michael.
