Yes, that's my view too: let's work on Glib::Object::Introspection.  I 
don't think that we even need a Perl wrapper at all for Gtk3.  Even 
right now, all you need to do is this:

  use Glib::Object::Introspection;
  Glib::Object::Introspection->setup (
    basename => 'Gtk',
    version => '3.0',
    package => 'Gtk3');

We could maybe shorten this to:

  use Glib::Object::Introspection 'Gtk' => 'Gtk3';

With the current G::O::I, quite a lot of Gtk3 should actually be usable 
already, including callbacks.  Things like boxed types or cairo 
integration need more work.  All help is welcome.  It's really 
gratifying work, because once you implement something in G::O::I, it's 
immediately available for a plethora of libraries.
