Ah, I'm using the Debian-supplied version 2.12.4, and your page refers to 2.14.3. Thanks. I guess it's just missing from my docs.

As it is, I'm having much more fundamental problems. I'm trying to do this to a GtkWidget *child inside GtkTable *table:
---------------------
GValue left_attach;

gtk_container_child_get(GTK_CONTAINER(table), child,
    "left-attach", &left_attach, NULL);
g_printerr("%s\n", g_strdup_value_contents(&left_attach),
---------------------

And I'm getting this error:

GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_strdup_value_contents: assertion
`G_IS_VALUE (value)' failed

Why?

--D.
