An item called "libsexy cherrypicking" has been on the list of features
for GTK+ 2.12, but unfortunately didn't make it.  If anybody wants to
pick up the ball on this, and create a patch against GTK+ that adds the
most useful libsexy features (I am thinking of things like adding an
icon inside GtkEntry, etc) to GTK+, that would be great.
