Gtk3::Gdk::RGBA->new (...) should work, but doesn't currently.  That's a 
genuine hole in the bindings: GdkRGBA is a boxed type which doesn't have 
a constructor, which is something Glib::Object::Introspection doesn't 
support at the moment.  Usually, structs that you are supposed to create 
manually (which is something G:O:I does support) don't have a boxed type 
associated to them.  If GdkRGBA didn't have a boxed type, then {red=>1, 
green=>1, ...} would work wherever a GdkRGBA is expected.

It looks like we need to add a standard constructor for boxed types 
which don't provide one already.
