I noticed a situation where this error happens. If you have multiple
inheritance and the compiler might need to change the value of the returned
pointer when doing implicit conversion from derived* to base*, then gcc
cannot handle this situation and will give that error.

Thus, get rid of the multiple inheritance and you'll be fine. (Gtk--
does not use MI, so...)

I'll be fixing this problem from gtk-- too, but this information might
help you to make a workaround.
