It seems that libglade-2.0 depends on libgdk-x11-2.0, which clashes with
libdk-directfb-2.0. This makes it impossible to use glade on gtk/gdk
directfb applications:

ico@lapdoos:/tmp$ gcc  `pkg-config --libs gtk+-directfb-2.0 libglade-2.0` -o hello hello.c
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3.1/../../../../lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `cairo_>
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3.1/../../../../lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `cairo_>
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3.1/../../../../lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `cairo_>
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Since the GDK ABI is not independent from the backend, all libraries you
need have to be rebuilt against the directfb version if you want to use
them with this backend.

If you are developing a new application targeted to DirectFB, you’d
better consider using GtkUIManager instead of Glade, that will avoid
using another library for that.

I Josselin,

Thanks for the fast response,

Yes, that makes sense, I kind of figured that out after I submitted the
report.

I'm porting a few existing applications from X to directfb for an
embedded system, which is why I ran into this issue. Of course I can
work around this by building my own glade for directfb, but I was
wondering if a directfb version of glade would be a useful thing for
debian. I guess creating a whole package for this is not worth the
hassle, but thanks for the explanation.
