Well, using enums would make wrapping keysyms much easier on the
gtkmm side.
It will also help other bindings to stop doing things such as this:

Why is this needed? The GDK_KEY_x constants are introspected properly
and are available as Gdk.KEY_x.
Changing the defines to enums would change the representation that
gobject-introspection produces and would thus constitute a break of the
IABI, as Colin called it -- the introspection ABI. The positive effects
of such a change should therefore be significant enough to outweigh this
downside.
Fair enough. This certainly postpones the change until the next break of
the IABI and thus probably the ABI and/or API also. I've opened a bug
[1] so that this doesn't get lost in the mailing list.
Cheers,
Mark
