Does this mean that I can avoid struggling with manual STL <-> GList
conversion when doing a GtkCList of list<> (or vector<>) types?

I use C++ with static call-backs because gtk-- was not stable when I
started my project a year ago. Converting now would effectively be
wasting time since my current solution is working.

The fact that gtk-- is rumored not to work in Windows is one more
reason for me to stay with plain GTK+, though I am not doing any
Windows versions for now.

Also, I am a bit hesitant to depend on even more libraries, and
finally I think the memory foot print looks a bit scary (though this
is hard to measure with shared things, paging, and stuff).
