I'm pretty sure you can, since every other language binding deals with
it just fine.

GtkApplicationPrivate is just a typed pointer used to pad the instance
structure; what it points to is irrelevant, since it's data private to
the GtkApplication type.

You need to take it into account when sizing the instance structure
(something you can also do by using g_type_query() and getting the
instance size), but you should not have access to its contents — that
being the whole point of having the private data in the first place.

Ciao,
 Emmanuele.
