I didn't see anything about pthread in the cells-gtk
tree either, but I'm so new to it that I don't know if
that means anything.  As far as I can remember, the glib
stuff installed normally, probably as a dependency for GTK.
I've never had any trouble running any glib/gtk application.

That's part of why this was so confusing to me; I ought to
have pretty close to a default setup for FreeBSD.  I would've
thought that other people would've seen this before.

I think I'm going to try to set up a temporary linux in qemu,
just to see if it'll work.
