Re: GTK2 GdkNativeWindow compilation errors

But only on fedora 41. Rocky 9 has gtk2 fine. hmm...

Something weird. Pike 8.0.1916 compiles gtk2 fine, but 9.0.10 from git does=
n't, trying to figure that out.

Sorry, I guess I never mentioned that. I=E2=80=99m testing against 9.0, but=
 I suspect the problem exists in 8.x as well.
