Reconcile Window: Date widget broken?

[David T.]

Let's take the different pieces of this:

1) I updated to 2.2.6 using Fink.

2) fink list gtk yields:
...
i   gtk+             1.2.10-51    The Gimp Toolkit
...

3) The trouble listed in that bug describes my situation exactly, but has nothing to do with Windows, since I am using OS X. 

I don't know whether the fix Charles mentioned will fix this as well.
