that would be really good.

btw, Peter, I've checked bindings for others languajes and what they
do, is not translate the records (structs) of the objects, then
transforming the object in a opaque object (wich is good), so then
they provide accesors for the fields.
Something like this can be done ?

because I think we have a problem with certain functions, for example
in notebook we have:

function  show_border()    // pretty generic name
wich does the work of gtk_notebook_get_show_border() // wich don't exist

then it should be:
function  gtk_notebook_show_border()
or better:
function  gtk_notebook_get_show_border()

or something like that, no ?
