After reading the tutorial (again, counting 3), still, the question is
the same. Never mind. I dont think it's possible.
I think we are thinking in different worlds.

Here is the basic: no GTK object defines a public FooClass struct
or anything I can use as a pointer reference. Fiddling into the
internals via GObject is the last thing I want to do. I can appreciate
how GObject does its internals but without a pre-initialization hint,
it makes things, in my world, impossible.

I guess I will have to do the same as ruby_gtk. More maintenance
work but safe.

Thanks anyway,
