I thought you might have been there. It's maddeningly close to possible,
though.

Yes. In fact, pretty much everything that needs one :-) What set me off
on this path was that I found that I needed the parent field in
GtkWidget. Having to add a C accessor method every week made me think
that there might be a better way.

I'll set about it.

As far as sorting out the patch goes, the problems run slightly deeper
than I thought. I do have them pretty much fixed, though, but...

I've used a Smalltalk script to generate them. What do you think about
bootstrapping an image and then using it to generate the bindings? We do
say "GNU Smalltalk is good for scripting", after all!
