Let me be clear:

        I do not believe that you want to make Gtk# look bad in order to
        favor gtkmm.  But you certainly treat gtkmm in a more laxed way
        that you demanded from us.
        
        And I also feel that Gtk# was discriminated on the grounds of
        not being developed as fast as the "trunk" of GNOME.  The
        "FileChooser" incident. 

If this is not the case, and am wrong and I miss-represented our email
exchanges I owe you an apology. What matters to me is:

	To get Gtk# 1.0.x on the list of Gnome bindings.

	To not have Gtk# discriminated against on the basis of "not
	being part of the official bindings".

	To not have Gtk# discriminated on the grounds of not being
	a complete 2.latest binding.  We are working towards binding
	more but we are taking a `features come after bug fixes'
	approach with Gtk#.

I will pass the message to Mike.
