I'm no GTK expert, but looking at the documentation it looks like
there's a `g_object_newv' that takes an array of value objects
instead of using varargs.  I did see some scary looking macros
there too, so maybe that's just as hard.

One of these days I'm going to write a article/blog entry about
how to write C libraries that aren't completely hostile to people
using other languages.  As if anyone would care...

Sigh!
