Very nice. I'm eagerly awaiting these fixes to come in. And all this
about generics and methods taking a long time *has* to be fixable.

In other news, I just committed some custom wrappers for
gtk-message-dialog and added a module argument to
glade-xml-signal-autoconnect. And by the way, the custom handler is what
happens when you click on the "custom widget" icon in glade; you can
input anything that evaluates to a widget there. Unfortunately modules
are still a problem there, because that code is called when you
glade-xml-new. If you want a symbol from a particular module you just
have to use eval (for instance, a construction function that is defined
and exported in one module but called from another, but still wants the
handlers local to its module).
