i used libglade-convert when i was working on some of the GladeXML
bindings. it does work, but not ideally. especially if you have any
lists or trees in your code as they have completely changed between gtk
1 and 2 (as you of course know) but if nothing else it does seem to
provide you with a good start.

GnomePrint2, like GladeXML, is pretty alpha. (as he said previously)
muppet did the bindings quickly and really never used them afterwards.
sorry that doesn't really answer your question. if nothing else i would
try to find something (in C) that has the GnomePrint2 as a dependancy
and look at how it goes about using it. things should translate between
and perl pretty well.
