Sorry, my bad: The current Scala binary fails with a libgnat error:

    [dlphilp at localhost scala-22-pc-linux]$ ./scala
    ./scala: relocation error: ./scala: undefined symbol: gnat__strings_E

So it doesn't appear to be a GTK-related problem. I tried to rebuild 
Scala with a version of libgnat compiled with GCC 3.2.2, got no joy. I 
was unsuccessful building a new version of libgnat, it seems quite 
compiler-dependent. I'm open to suggestions...

Best,
