also worth noting:

 - change typedef guint GType; to typedef gsize GType;

though this has _theoretically_ no API impact, because people should
be using GType or at least GtkType in all of their type ID code already,
in practice there's unfortunately quite some code out there that
assumes GType is a guint.
