(See the first paragraph of quoted text if you're confused—I don't know if that was intentional; I figure it's not, though).
There is a difference between problem with a library (e.g. "How do I create a window with GTK?") and with it's bindings (e.g. "How do I use this method in Vala? It keeps segfaulting. Aren't the bindings buggy?") So that's what I mean. You ask about how to do something in GTK. The fact you want it written in Vala is not important, since the methods you use are all the same. If you knew the particular methods to call but was unable to call them in Vala, then it would be a problem for this list. IMO, GTK+ mailing list is the only right place to ask questions about doing something in GTK+. That is partly because Vala is so close to C API-wise that the only thing you actually change is the way of calling methods. Some GTK+ binding projects have dedicated mailing list for questions about development in the particular language, because the language itself makes it quite different. That is not the case with Vala, as it's just syntactic sugar over pure C.
Btw: Library documentation is really the first place to look for answers.Just as a side note: ...
From your post, it didn't really seem that you know what you're looking for. Actually, it looked like you didn't even try looking for the solution yourself. There is some sort of question-posting etiquette written down somewhere (not sure where I read it though), one of the points being something like "always make everyone know you already did your research and what you found out, you'll avoid being RTFM'd..". :) Anyway, I hope you don't think something bad about me. It's not that your post annoyed me or something. It seemed that way but no, not really. Though it did strike me as something that doesn't really belong here.
