Hi,

see below: libgtk2-perl has problems on the mips build daemon in
Debian. Maybe some of you guys has any idea what's going on there?

This is reproducible on gabrielli.d.o.

It's something of a heisenbug: running with the perl debugger 
('perl -d -Iblib/lib -Iblib/arch t/GtkCellRenderer.t') fails the first time,
but after a restart ('R') the tests pass.

The callback that doesn't get called is gtk2perl_cell_renderer_render(),
in xs/GtkCellRenderer.xs.

The class callbacks get initialized properly in
gtk2perl_cell_renderer_class_init(), but gtk+ never calls the renderer
one.

It would be somewhat interesting to eliminate xvfb from the loop, but
I can't seem to get an X11 connection to gabrielli.

Unfortunately I won't have the time to look further into this in the
next few weeks.  Hope this note helps somebody else a bit.

There's 1.222 available upstream, but looking at the changes, I very
much doubt it fixes this.
