  * owner:  => datallah
  * component:  pidgin (gtk) => winpidgin (gtk)
  * summary:  After successfully reinstalling pidgin & GTK+, still says GTK
              doesn't exist on WIN XP => embedded GTK+
              installer doesn't notify of failure to install
              correctly

Comment:

 The GTK+ installer shouldn't try to install where pidgin is, they're
 completely independent.

 The GTK+ installer uses the previous location for silent upgrades, which
 is a reasonable thing to do. I haven't heard other complaints about this.

 If the gtk installer failed to install correctly (if that indeed is what
 happened here), that is something that we should be doing a better job of
 making obvious.
