that's great! and it will save us lot of work in some months, when the
switch to Glib/GTK 2.0 is made.

I am myself looking for time to set up a GLib/GTK/GNOME 2.0 environment
in my machine (of course, keeping the stable GTK/GNOME at the same
time), so I'd be testing all the stuff you do about this as soon as I've
got everything setup

not me, although I suppose work will be done soon on it to port it to
the new GObject stuff, since its maintainer (jirka) is also one of the
gnome-libs maintainers, and work is starting to make what will be
gnome-libs 2.0. Anyway, I can't see anything in its home page
(http://www.5z.com/jirka/gob.html) about it.
