Thanks Henry. I sorted out the gtk1 dependencies some while ago but in 
this case I'm specifically interested in gtk2, which is why I'm hesitant 
to simply splurge Debian's lazarus package onto the system.

In part this goes back to the menu problem I mentioned a few days ago, 
the fact that this doesn't occur on gtk2 is a big incentive to migrate 
to it where possible.
