g_type_from_name() can only work with types that have already been
registered with the type system. Try something like this instead:

int
main()
{
  g_type_init ();
  g_type_class_ref (GTK_TYPE_WIDGET);
  g_print ("GtkObject: %ld\n", g_type_from_name ("GtkObject"));
  g_print ("GtkWidget: %ld\n", g_type_from_name ("GtkWidget"));
  return 0;
}


Salut, Sven
