I was helping AlexP track down a problem with GnuCash on 9.2 machines
(it was built on 9.1).  After fixing some symlinks it worked on Suns
but not on linux.  The problem appears to be a change in libgtkhtml.

On Linux the only gtkhtml installed was libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3,
whereas Sun has three versions (see attached email).  I'm not sure
whether the bug is a lack of compatibility on Linux or the extra
compatibility on Suns, but it is definitely a bug that Sun and Linux
do not match.

Strangely, Alex's Linux box didn't have libgtkhtml-2, either, only 1.1.
