nothing, unless you consider "i didn't know how to do it" to be 
special.  :-)

specifically, i didn't know how to get a perl file handle back from a 
file descriptor in the io watch callback (from gperl_io_channel_wrap() 
in GIOChannel.xs).  if you change Glib::IO::add_watch to accept file 
handles, then that boxed wrapper function should change to spit file 
handles back to perl.
