Clear and definite answer . Perfect .

Ok , that's clear too .

But i have a question that's tricky to ask : i don't want to sound
demanding , i am just wondering why the online documentation is not up to
date .

Once i read your mail , i tried a 'man Gtk2::ToolItem' and it delivered
information . The documentation seems up to date , why the online one is
not ? It doesn't help :)

Cheers (and thanks for everything else) .
