Well, this is not just one-port-issue. New linux-gtk2 needs linux 2.6
emulation. Most of the needed functions are merged from 8-CURRENT to
7-STABLE (note: 7.0-RELEASE won't fit). Some work to introduce
FEDORA-8 ports was done (please, search archives for emulation@ ML).
Those patches may be stale though but you may give it a try and report
back. Thanks.
