its wrapped like this:

using namespace Gtk;

int
UI::load_rcfile (string path)
{
	if (path.length() == 0) {
		return -1;
	}

	if (access (path.c_str(), R_OK)) {
		error << "UI: couldn't find rc file \"" 
		      << path
		      << '"'
		      << endmsg;
		return -1;
	}
	
	RC rc (path.c_str());

	......
