 > Should I keep watching here for a fix?
 Yes, but not many are using Panther anymore so you may have to do some
 work yourself to try to find the fix.

 I did a little investigating and found that ppd_attr_t is indeed not
 defined by any file in the cups-headers port. It is, however, defined in
 /usr/include/cups/ppd.h on Tiger. So it looks like gtk2 is now using a
 newer version of CUPS than the cups-headers port provides headers for. We
 could possibly update cups-headers to install headers from a newer version
 of CUPS, but I think the headers have to match the version of CUPS
 provided by the OS. Curiously, according to cups-config, Panther provides
 CUPS 1.1.20rc1 while Tiger has CUPS 1.1.23, but the cups-headers port is
 at version 1.1.15. I wonder if just updating cups-headers to 1.1.20rc1
 would work.

 Another thing we could do is use "configure.args-append --disable-cups" on
 Panther. This should ensure we don't run into CUPS-related problems on
 Panther in the future, but obviously at the expense of disabling CUPS
 support in gtk2 on Panther.
