We got it working, need the development packages for gtk.
Sadly it isn't possible to maintain one package for mandrake and fedora, 
because of this. It would be far easier to just have 2 seperate rpms.

I think i would have to go against this. If you install a binary package 
instead of source, you won't need the development libraries, and i think 
most things that cssed otherwise uses are very standard. Adding more weight 
to replace a package that is installed 99% of the time seems a bit pointless
