Hi,

Here is a patch I started.  It does build but segfaults and I'm probably 
a bit over my head.  Hope this helps at least a little.

If it segfaults the problem is not really solved and I understood
your remark "a bit over my head" as a "I have to give up on this".
Sorry if I missinterpreted this.

I would really welcome if you would succeed with this tasks but
even as the upstream author I would say that there are probably
other more frequently used packages which deserve an imlib1 to
imlib2 upgrade more than libgtkimreg.  If there is any hope that
you will be successful I might redraw my request for removal (or
reintroduce it later again).

Many thanks for your effort to upgrade this old code!

Kind regards

         Andreas.
