Thank you so much. :-)

The funny thing is that etherape doesn't use most of those libraries,
and particularly, it doesn't use the sound daemon. It's just that
I think all gnome apps have to link with it, and glade added them for 
me.

Just edit the Makefile and extract -lesd from the line starting
with GNOMEUI_LIBS

This is weird as well. Most of the configuring script is done by
me automatically by glade, and I hadn't noticed it is not looking
for the sound daemon.

I'll try to fix it going the other way around:
not requiring so many libraries that do nothing for etherape.
