Yes, but I suspect that the majority of people likely to use the
Java-Gnome bindings will be Java programmers interested in Gnome rather
than Gnome programmers interested in java.

Also, all of the other libraries in Java are structured using this
naming convention so the code would be a mish-mash of conventions
anyway. Much better to stick with the java naming scheme IMHO.

P.S. Usually I prefer underscores to capitialisation ;)
