I don't complain, I just doubt it can generate very reliable code.
Basically due to two reasons:
1) it disables many of compiler warnings (I think it will generate them
if not disabled) but it generates many compilation warnings still;
2) it generates code which casts every argument, so I assume there is no
types check at all, all arguments become type-less which is error-prone.
And since it's not very well debuggable, fixing bugs is much less
easy than in case of C code.

That is good so give us the final version of API, with some detailed
documentation for the best. I would like to have weather applet in it,
for example. :)
And I still want it to be compilable on older systems, desirably even
on such as current stable versions of Debian, RHEL, etc. - with glib 2.24
and gtk 2.20. :)
And also I would like it a lot if you could fix regression, i.e. add
a possibility to have pseudo-transparency when using Openbox. :)
Thank you for your great work!
Andriy.
