are you ever using pobj? (I can't see it. If not you might as well
delete it!)

This all looks like introducing just a new namespace (which is
definitely a
good thing). Am I guessing right?

 This looks not too bad, I also tried some C++ wrapper for GList but
failed in
the first and second attempt (I tried to be too object oriented) (though
I'm
really expert about Gtk-- and C++!).

Of course I'm interested in your code! Please send it to me!
