Re: Is this OK?

I tend to use g_new also.  At the end of the day, you could use g_malloc, but if that was there anyway why 
create g_new? The way I see it, g_new is there as a definition to what ever function glib decides to call, 
eg: if that is changed in the future (unlikely) g_new would be modified to point to the new g_malloc function 
(if that ever happened).
