[Vala] Usage of Static classes

Hi all,
First of all I am new to the OOP way of thinking and pretty new to vala.
So please bear with me as I am still learning things.
To best of my knowledge static classes are non instantiable and sealed.

But using the 'static' keyword during the class definition barfs when
compiling.

For example,

public static Foo: GLib.Object {
        ..
        ..


generates,

typedef struct (null) FooClass;
typedef struct (null) FooPrivate;

in say foo.h.

Shouldn't the above lines be absent? or should FooClass be typedef'ed to
NULL instead of (null). If so, isn't it a trivial bug in the code generator?

Or did I miss the train and should I assume that defining all the
methods "static" automatically gives me a static class?
I actually happened to follow the above assumption.

If it matters, I am using the latest svn checkout

Thanks and Regards
