Running guile-gnome-0 allows you to import version 0 of the guile-gnome
modules. It is the same as:

  bash-3.2$ guile
  guile> (import (gnome-0))

The rationale for this is in the "Getting started" section of the
tutorial. At this point you should import the modules you want; e.g.
GTK+ isn't loaded until you do:

  guile> (import (gnome gtk))

In your case, if you're just working with the base GObject library, what
you probably wanted to do was:

  guile> (import (gnome gobject))

Run guile-gtk-demo.scm in the examples dir, it has working source code
examples.

Please ask if you have more questions, or suggestions where things could
be made more clear.

Peace,

Andy
