Sorry, little help here please.  When I try examples from the new
Gtk3::Gdk::RGBA tests you linked to, I get:

Gtk3::Gdk::RGBA=SCALAR(0x10b9f60) is not of type Gtk3::Gdk::Color at
/path/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi//Glib/Object/Introspection.pm
line 59

Obviously you would not have pushed them if they didn't work, so
apparently 'm doing something wrong... and all I'm doing are things
like

my $rgba = Gtk3::Gdk::RGBA->new ({red => 0.0, green => 0.5, blue =>
0.5, alpha => 0.5});

Thanks,
