Now that gtkextra-2.0 has been officially released, i played with it 
for a while to see how well it works and how easily bindable it is.  
The API is large and looks like a minimal port from gtk+ 1.x.  The C 
examples work, but are a lot of code and will take a lot of time to 
port from C to perl.  I use the examples as a form of combined acid 
test / use case / demo, so it's not really working until those work.  I 
have bindings for about 90% of the API; the rest will require boxed 
wrappers and structure wrappers and other bits of hand-coded fiddling.

I have one test ported, and it currently segfaults really well.

Smart has nothing to do with it -- it's just grunt work, and 
fun-to-solve problems like "where can i store the callback object 
pointer, since their API doesn't give me a spot for it?"  If you'd 
like, i can send you what i have and you can finish it off.  :-)
