What is this "patch level 1", as I never heard of it ?
I have my self patched with a gnomepatch that I ported from earlier
release and a "move window from any part by pressing meta" patch but
compiles clean with these and from fresh release 6..

Nope, works on gcc2.95.3, GNU/Linux, glibc2.2, i686 =)

But I remember seeing something similar with some other project some
day, can't recall what it was.. try adding a "#define NULL 0" in Config.h
or some other place, and if such a define exist, try removing it..

It might be that having a pointer argument default to 0 causes
problems.. workaround would be to define another "wrapper" function
(like one would do in java I think)..

If you can give any details on your system it would help a lot..
