Well it seems that OE takes the wrong preferred provider for gtk. One
easy and dirty hack is removing
the /home/go/Projects/openmoko/openembedded/packages/gtk+/gtk
+-directfb_2.10.9.bb file.
However it makes monotone complain on update. I do not know if it hurts
the monotone update. However there must be a better solution I do not
know about.
