g_object_copy()

[Russell Shaw <rjshaw iprimus com au>]

Hi,
How do i make an independant duplicate of an item descended from g_object() ?

I have a dialog that copies an object, modifies and previews the settings
of it, then replaces the original if ok. I can't write code to do all the
deep copy, because some of the data are pointers to gdk/gtk objects.

Specifically, how do i duplicate a GdkPixmap?

If deep-copy is not implemented in Gtk/Gdk, shouldn't it be added?
It would make bindings to python which has deep-copy ability more
transparent.
