Ah.  That _appears_ to hit the crux of the problem, insofar as my
gnome-config had no support for gtkhtml.

Unfortunately, it's not _quite_ there; the test program fails, and
I expect the full one will too:

% gcc -v -o confgtest -g -O2 c.o -rdynamic -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtkhtml -lXpm -ljpeg -lpng -lz -lSM -lICE -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lXi -lXext -lX11 -lm -lgdk_pixbuf -laudiofile -lgnome -lgnomesupport -lgtk -lgdk -lgnomeprint -lesd -lxml -lgdk_imlib -lart_lgpl -lgnomecanvaspixbuf

Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.2/specs
gcc version 2.95.2 20000220 (Debian GNU/Linux)

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgtkhtml
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

My suspicion is that I don't have a fully properly compiled gtkhtml for
development purposes, despite having...
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 Jul 28 23:09 /usr/lib/libgtkhtml.so.3 -> libgtkhtml.so.3.0.0
