Stuff I'd like to see that I haven't seen mentioned yet.

Okey... the subject says it all, so I'm gonna make suggestions that I
haven't seen discussed.  Please tell me what you think.  And btw, tell me
if it exists and I overlooked something somewhere.  The lack of
documentation makes it hard to catch everything there is, and there's alot
too.

rcfile directive for gtk_rc_parse();  Something way to tell gtk how to
parse user-created directives.  If I have an rcfile, I'm going to want to
specify some of my own settings.  Perhaps a way to forward the file handle
to a user-defined function.  That would be the minimal way from what I
know.

(Maybe the same as above for command-line parsing.  Instead just a table
that corresponds to what settings get fiddled by the command line?)

prelight...  Can we make this an additive color modification, rather than
a replacement?  When the pointer is over an active toggle button, whether
it's set or not becomes ambiguous.  With the prelight code as is, you get
a button that looks the same as inactive, only a little lighter.  With me
being used to motif (at least that's where I think I saw it) I expect an
active button to look active, but a little lighter.

widget sizing... this probably exists... where/how can I control widget
sizes at an absolute pixel size?

button_set_state... is there a reason why there is no set_state function
that doesn't emit the associated signals as well?  Aside from the fact
that it's simpleton code?  (Maybe there's a reason not to have everything
under the sun in a library... please tell me so when I write one it
doesn't suck  ;)

I seem to remember toggle_state not working for me... I'll check again,
but maybe someone else has seen this?

Hope you like what you've read... ;)
