gtkglext and missing pango symbols

We've received several reports of startup problems related to gtkglext and pango, see:

• http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=9268545&forum_id=7633
• http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=13583539
• http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1374460&group_id=11113&atid=111113

and probably:

It appears that gtkglext is using symbols from pango that were deprecated in gtk 2.6 and removed in 2.8, see:

Strangely, I don't seem to be having problems with this combination on Gentoo, I am using

* x11-libs/gtkglext-2.8.6-r1

* x11-libs/gtk+-2.6.10-r1

As followup, it turns-out that Gentoo Linux is patching gtkglext to make it work, see:
