no, they've been moved to the gtkmm (http://gtkmm.sf.net) project, which
contains bindings for many GNOME libraries. The problem is that to make
the move, a rewrite was needed, and right now, they're only started,
since nobody is really working on them.

But, as of last time I talked with gtkmm's maintainer, the job should be
quite easy, as all the infrastructure to use GObject-based libs in a C++
way is already done in gtkmm.
