And I had just noticed another issue of gtk2: It was linked against
cygwin1.dll's setlocale(),
which is taken as problematic. 
When I run gaim-1.0.0 with it, some locale features bahave weird, e.g
the XIM server couldn't be activated.
But when I turn to the gtk2 from cygnome2, everything work fine. 

Since gtk2-x11 has something to do with x11, we can turn to XLOCALE. 
And that's the way cygnome2 does.

BTW: Yaakov, I tried to build sylpheed-claws with gdk-pixbuf  and
gtk-engines from http://cygwin-ports.sf.net,
everything went fine but the `pixmap' engine
(/usr/lib/gtk/themes/engines/cygpixmap.dll)
couldn't be applied, as it was linked to  cyggdk_imlib-1.dll, which I
didn't find.
