["Rostedt, Steven" <steven rostedt lmco com>]

First I must appologize about the format of my
letters.  I'm forced to use M$ Outlook and
it seems to scew around with indents and
replys.  
Also I'm on too many mailing lists and
I'm right now at the LinuxWorld expo.
I logged on and found 600 messages!!
So please bare with me.

Re-read the above. :-)

(gtk_object_set()).]

Looks good to me!
But I'll take a look at how
to implement this for all widgets.

[You'll get a runtime error anyway, and there would be hundreds of macros
to type in and maintain and pollute the namespace. Not that anyone is
stopping you if you want to type them in and maintain them. :-)

Actually I would like to take this on.  
I don't like run time errors since they
usually show up when I'm demo-ing :(
I'll look at the best way to go 
about this in my (non)spare time.
I believe gtk will grow stronger and
needs to be better encapsulated.
MACRO definitions should not be
too hard to maintain once a format is
established.

Steve.

-PS. Are any of the developers for GTK
here at the Expo (San Jose)?
If so, I hope we could meet up.
I'll be at the GNOME session tomorrow (3/2/99)
