I'm CCing gnomemm-list gnome org instead of myself.

There is a skeleton libgdamm in gnomemm/libgdamm in gnome's cvs. It doesn't
do anything because there is no example code to use it. I have purposefully
not wrapped much or tried to take it further, because I want somebody else
to do that work. I don't think it's difficult though.

First you should take a look at it, and look at gtkmm/docs/internal in the
gtkmm2 tarball if you are not familiar with gtkmm's gtkmmproc wrapping
system. There's lots of information about gtkmmproc in the gtkmm mailing
list archives, but feel free to ask.

Here's what I said the last time somebody asked about libgdamm:
