I've now checked in
address@hidden/gtk--dev--0--patch-3, which fixes
this, but there is another problem:

guile> (use-modules (gnome-0))
guile> (use-modules (gnome gtk))
guile> (gdk-window-set-icon (make <gdk-window>) #f #f #f)

(<unknown>:15038): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_set_icon: assertion 
`GDK_WINDOW_TYPE (window) != GDK_WINDOW_CHILD' failed
guile>

AFAICS, there is currently now way to specify that the window created
should be of type toplevel, since GdkWindowAttr is not wrapped and
thus there is now meaningful way of calling gdk-window-new. I'm not
sure what magic it is that makes the (make <gdk-window>), which is
parameterless (as opposed to gdk-window-new) - GdkWindow isn't a
GObject, or did I miss something? Perhaps Andy Wingo can shed some
light on this (perhaps the make constructor provides a way around
having to wrap GdkWindowAttr ;).
