Blah, I think G*List wrappers and iterators are just a bad idea. for()
loops are so much more intuitive than iterators...

This would be cool (as would be finishing the wrapping of all the gnome
widgets, which I don't think is done.)

Providing a generic way to do this would probably be more useful, since
there is such a wide variety of callbacks out there. Perhaps provide a way
to do:

g_slist_foreach(mylist, obglib_callback,
		obglib_make_callback(myobjcobject, "mymethod"));
