   It's very simple. What I did was grep HAVE_IMLIB on each
c file...and comment out (//) that part. Sometimes they were
in the include section at the top of the file, other times
they were lower down in the code itself. 4 or 5 files are
affected.

You also have to change the Makefile located in the directory where
the source code is ( I think it's Menueditor)..just remove the reference 
to IMLIB from the LIBS = line, but leave in the GTK reference. That's it.

Of course I did all this after running ./configure.

I know next to nothing about c and I found it simple.
