You can't call any guile-gnome function until you have included (gnome
gobject). Strictly speaking there are about 5 parts (gtype, gparam,
gvalue, gobject, gclosure) that you can include individually, but
practically all programs first include (gnome gobject) via the g-wrap
modules. See the other
scm_init_gnome_gobject_{gtype,gobject,gclosure,...} functions and where
they are called (specifically, from {gtype,gobject,gclosure,...}.scm.)

So because this init is called by (gnome gobject gtype) there is no
problem.

Cheers,

Andy.
