Sorry, I was confused here and did not check with the dbus-update branch.

This looks like a good temporary fix, to disentangle the dbus-update branch.
My impression is that we should not have changed so much at the same time,
anyway, and instead have concentrated on the dbus-update and closely related
modifications, then merged back, then done other modifications and updates
like gtk+.

Interesting, so maybe the problem will be solved; then we can still add
rest as an input to gtk+ again.

Thanks!
