Excellent!  You'll make me owe you a beer.

The GTK+ documentation is written in DocBook (www.docbook.org).  The
sources are in gtk+/docs/reference/gtk.  Look for the "migration"
chapters there.

If you don't know DocBook, don't worry.  Just write your docs as a text
file and I'll add the markup for you.

This is to use a pixmap as a repeating pattern, or something like that,
right?
