quite the contrary. the entire point of almost all existing language
bindings is to make the object model be idiomatic to that language. I work
in Gtkmm and have also worked in pygtk quite a bit. There's no reason
whatsoever to understand GObject at all with these bindings.

Look, I understand that you think that GObject is pretty cool (it is), that
it, along with glib, can serve as useful building blocks of non-graphical
applications (they can) and that this fact should be more widely known (it
should).

But is that the purpose of a brochure on GTK+ ?
