Thanks. Didn't know about that. Just from a cursory glance at the doc:

 * what I like
   clean, abstract interface

 * what I don't
   namespace pollution (besides the prefix ssh_ they use options_
   channel_ and what not).

In Tony's case, he might have to extract the fd from the SSH_SESSION
object (is there an interface for that?) to be able to stuff it into a
GIOChannel (not very difficult. I've done it with a database socket). On
the plus side, Tony would just have *one* socket to watch (read and
write side), and errors would (assumedly) come through call results or
whatever.
