I'm a bit lost in there[1], and since the types are probably one
of the keypoints for helping to develop gtk2-perl, I'd really
like to understand better. Would it be possible to forward the
original mails from goran and muppet on this list please?

Thanks!

Ref: 
[1] seems you want to revert back from a GObject* to the real
type, but I'm not sure to have all the information to really
understand what's going on; either it's pure C objects and it's a
pure gtk+ problem that most probably has a solution in the very
gtk+ C sources, or it's perl objects and why not using sv_isa()
or sv_derived_from()?
