It won't be integrated before 1.2, since that is coming
out extremely soon, but yes, if you submit patches that
add missing arguments, they will be integrated.

For submission:

 1) Submit in small pieces. One patch for each widget.
    
 2) Upload the submissions to ftp.gtk.org/pub/incoming
    and follow the instructions in the README there.
