I suggested this to Björn:

But as far as I can see, he has simply the .h, as I do, and his
corresponding .c is what you said should go in the .xs (thanks).

I added your GType function to the .xs (looking at Gnome2::GConf to see where).

I still have the problem that although I can use the widget OK without
error messaging from a stand-alone script, make test gives me:

t/01....#     Failed test (t/01.t at line 11)
#     Tried to use 'Gtk2::ImageView'.
#     Error:  Can't load
'/home/jeff/perl/Gtk2-ImageView/blib/arch/auto/Gtk2/ImageView/ImageView.so'
for module Gtk2::ImageView:
/home/jeff/perl/Gtk2-ImageView/blib/arch/auto/Gtk2/ImageView/ImageView.so:
undefined symbol: SvGtkImageTransp at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 230.

I don't understand why I only get the above error with make test.
