At first glance this looks rather useable, does it behave like C++

PS: The original message was sent to gtk-devel-list but it showed up at
  the gtk-list. I don't know if that was the intention or if it was a
  mailinglist error, so I send the answer to both gtk-devel-list as well
  as gtk-list. Appologies if this message appears twice at the gtk-list.
