We went on a crusade between GTK+-1.1 and GTK+-1.2 to 
make everything that was a getter or a setter be
get_foo() and set_foo().

We didn't do the same for boolean-valued query functions.
Perhaps that will happen at some point in the future...
there should probably be a policy one way or the 
other for future naming in any case.
