Hm, I just figured that you could always get at the value to remove it,
but not the key.  You won't hurt my feelings one bit by removing my
code and putting in a more general mechanism.  I don't have an opinion
between your two proposed interfaces, my only opinion is that if you
are going to change it, best to do it before gtk 1.2 so that no one
asks that g_hash_table_set_key_freefunc() stays.
