I just stripped the lib as it currently exists in cvs.  With
debug info included I get the following:

-rwxr-xr-x    1 jeff     users      652604 Feb  1 12:06
libgtkjava2.3.so.2.3.4

I also have a version of 0.8.2 and stripped the lib and got:

-rwxr-xr-x    1 jeff     users      565384 Feb  1 12:13
libgtkjava0.8.so.0.8.2

This is a fraction of the size you are reporting.  My version was
compiled without gcj.  Could this be the difference?
