I think that most language bindings do special things to register GTypes
when classes are defined, instead of using get_type() functions. If,
instead, a binding actually uses get_type() functions, they can register
those functions with GTK+; otherwise, you would have to resort to
libffi's callbacks. But in this case, I'd go ahead assuming that
language bindings are fine. Also since Johan is in this, I'm sure he
would speak up if there were a problem :)

Cheers,

Andy.
