Bug Description

gtkmm headers are normally included from the directory 'gtkmm' (see http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtkmm-tutorial/unstable/sec-connecting-signal-handlers.html.en). This package installs '/usr/include/gtkmm-2.4' only, meaning that extra hacking (e.g. a symlink) is required to use the library as intended.

A similar, but lesser, complaint can be attributed to the lack of libgtkmm.so

No, you need to use pkg-config to discover the include and linker flags:

This is the same for most other libraries, such as GTK+ and has been for many years. Just putting them in /usr/include would prevent parallel install of incompatible major versions.
