Hi Sébastien, thx for this post ! I'm a newby with GObject, and I'm always happy to learn bits here and there. As for using the `g_object_set_data()` like you do, it's something I always tried to stay away from, because it seems to me that everything becomes possible with that, and there's probably plenty of mistakes to be made ;) On the other hand, there must be some situations where it's the only solution. I'd be curious to know what the old-timers think about it, when to use it and when to avoid it.
GTK+ uses g_object_set_data() (though usually in its g_object_set_data_full() form) internally, a lot. -- O< ascii ribbon - stop html email! - http://arc.pasp.de/
