we've had these per-object manpages since about this time last year, so 
they should be in 1.04x.

installed from an RPM?  if not, what version of the Glib module do you 
have?

by the way, 1.06x is nicer.  ;-)

interesting.  i get this:

homie:~/src/gtk2-perl-xs/Gtk2-stable-1-04$ grep rpm Makefile
RPMS_DIR=$(HOME)/rpms
dist-rpms :: Makefile dist perl-$(DISTNAME).spec $(RPMS_DIR)/
        rpmbuild -ba --define "_topdir $(RPMS_DIR)" 
perl-$(DISTNAME).spec
dist-srpms :: Makefile dist perl-$(DISTNAME).spec $(RPMS_DIR)/
        rpmbuild -bs --nodeps --define "_topdir $(RPMS_DIR)" 
perl-$(DISTNAME).spec

(that's 1.043, but this wouldn't have changed from 1.040.)

it wouldn't --- all of the rpm-related stuff is in Gtk2's Makefile, 
generated by Glib::MakeHelper.
