Don't take a lot of this personally, many people on these lists are
subscribed to dozens of lists generating hundreds (if not thousands) of
total mails a day. GIMPNet (IRC) is a better means to ask multiple small
questions, and
irc://irc.gnome.org/#gtk+
irc://irc.gnome.org/#gnome-love
are good channels for GTK+/GNOME development help, respectively.
Typically it takes a few minutes for someone to notice your question and
reply (assuming someone on IRC knows the answer), since most of us are
doing other things as well. The de-facto standing policies are "just
ask", and private messages (/msg) are generally reserved for legitimate
private conversations. (IOW, just show up and ask, then hang around for
a while, if someone knows the answer they'll reply, and there's rarely a
need to move discussion to a private chat.)
Also, I've found that existing real-world app source that does what you
want (or something similar) is often more helpful than the examples
provided in the docs--assuming your app is license-compatible with the
code you're reading, of course.
