If you are at 0.12, you've done the biggest upgrade, to gtk2.  You might as 
well upgrade to current release, 0.13.3.  gtkspell might still be a problem, 
but you can either compile w/o that option, or get the RPM w/o it.  It's 
possible you'd have to do an upgrade somewhere else, like to a newer gtk2 or 
something, but once gtk2 is installed, that isn't so bad, either.  The big 
thing is moving to gtk2 in the first place.  Back when I did it there weren't 
nice RPMs for it as there are now, so I had to scramble for the three main 
pieces and their dependencies individually, and get stuff from multiple 
distribs to all work together.  It broke some of my old gtk1 apps to, 
although I don't think it had to, just that one of the distrib sources I used 
replaced rather than running both 1 and 2 together.  Of course, it wasn't 
long after that that Mandrake did their upgrade, and put all their gtk based 
stuff in gtk2 format, which meant cleaning out all the gtk 1 based tools, 
broken or not, and upgrading them to the v 2 ones.  I'm glad I have a cable 
modem for THAT sort of upgrade, as it was about a CD's worth.
