This seems exactly right.  (Well, except for the `iCantReadThis' caps

Eww.

I don't think so.

I think this would be a mistake.  Wouldn't this mean that you could
have two Java/Gtk programs that would require incompatible naming
schemes?  This just seems really wrong.

I say just pick the scheme you like (or the scheme somebody convinces
you is right) and stick with it.
