Re: Has this list-server fallen over?

Changing topic, I'm looking into registering sawfish with gnome, and as 
a start seeing what metacity does.  Now I don't program much these days, 
and the standards committees change things faster than I can keep track 
of, but the metacity code is full of a function (an Operator I suppose) 
g_new() that I can't place.  It is like the C++ new(), but takes two 
args: a type and a count.  Eg
    window = g_new (MetaWindow, 1);
There is also a g_new0():
    retval = g_new0 (char*, n_strings + 1);
and
    flattened = g_string_new ("");

I can't find any definition of these in the code.
Maybe they are defined by gnome, and I don't have the right devel 
libraries loaded to get the man pages.
