I know it is deprecated and we should not use it in
newly written code, but in that
book (GGAD) there are topics that depend on GtkArg.
I mean, for example, in "Signal Registeration"
section, there are examples of marshallers
that use GtkArg as their argument. If I don't
understand GtkArg, I can not understand
that section too. I also know many methods of signal
registeration that explained in that
book are deprecated and should not be used in newly
written code, but I don't find a
book about GTK+ 2.x and I decide to read that book,
maybe it give me a general survey
about GTK+ programming.

Thanks for your reply,
