Re: Getting type/arg info without running a GUI?

[David Benson <daveb idealab com>]

types are added by the *_get_type () functions for each
class.  these are in turn called by (say) the various GTK_TYPE_*
macros.

so add merely:
    (void) GTK_TYPE_WINDOW;

and you'll get window and its children.

to get them all i think you may be able to use
g_module to lookup all the symbols ending with _get_type().
