I did that comment, it is not speculation. I currently have no W32 machine,
hence no cygwin at all. I don't know how the original poster configured Gtk+,
I don't know which version of cygwin he/she has, I don't know which version of
Gtk+ he/she has. I only tried to find out if Emacs could fix this somehow,
which it can't. If the original poster (emacs_user AT hotmail DOT com) can send in
his/hers config.h from the Gtk+ configuration, we can figure out what function
we are talking about.
