Re: Question about Gio::Socket

[Kjell Ahlstedt <kjell ahlstedt bredband net>]

Some comments in 
https://git.gnome.org/browse/glibmm/tree/gio/src/socket.hg indicate that 
someone did not know how to wrap g_socket_create_source(), or did not 
have the time to find out.

There are many TODO comments in socket.hg, meaning many parts of it can 
be improved.
