Cheers Neil,

So... updating a GTK application (network-manager-gnome) requires that 
GTK be updated, which in-turn requires that CUPS be updated?

How on earth does CUPS depend on GTK?!

Is there any tool that you can think of that'll show a "map" of 
dependencies, so to speak.  Show what depends on what in a tree/spider 
mechanish?

Grant.
