On Windows, there's DllMain for dynamic link libraries that will be
invoked automatically if present, by the OS. If there is an equivalent
mechanism on Linux, it might be nicer to initialize GTK there, instead
of using a manual call?
Cheers,

hey guys,
i've started porting neko-systools to GTK for linux (and other OSs). In contrast to
win/mac desktops, GTK has to be initialized once (gtk_init). I'm proposing an
initialization method in the "misc" module, and a static variable in api.c a la:

any systools class requiring initialization would get an __init__ method like:

windows and mac's sytools_misc_initialize() would be an empty stub. is that a
proper way to do this? any thoughts about it? if ok, i'd check this into svn.
