OK - I just tried that.

My "patched to link with libfo" version of gnome-hello still dies deep
inside GTK+, in the same way as before.  I ran ldd on the executable and
grepped for pango, and couldn't see any direct pangopdf references. 
However, running nm of the libfo library shows up lots of undefined
"pango" symbols, so somehow I suppose the libfo linkage is pulling in a
load of pango symbols from pangopdf which clash with the pango symbols
from the "real" pango.

OK - am now doing a full rebuild of xmlroff with those options (having
cleaned out my /usr/local/lib).  I'll post the results...
