 Thank you for the pointer. No, it's of no use for me - I created a similar
(and probably more powerfull) module that serves almost the same purpose as
HandyCList but has slightly different design and concepts, and wrote a lot of
code for it. So, it won't be of any use for me..
 On the other hand, it just occured to me that I can do the sorting in my
module, not relying on clist's compare functions at all - but it seems it
would be better to fix GtkPerl than to work around it..

 Thanks.
