I'd like to add a support module for GTK2, called GTK2Support, just like GTK has one called GTKSupport.
This package has several useful composite widgets, such as an alert dialog (which does apparently was removed between GTK1 and GTK2), a simple combo list, an easier list widget (inherited from GTK2.TreeView, with some simplicity methods added), a PropertyBox widget (like the old Gnome.PropertyBox), and a simpler Text widget (inherits from GTK2.TextView, but more like a combination of TextView and TextBuffer, with some simplicity methods added).
It is available on monger for 7.6, in the GTK2.21 module, if anyone wants to see what it is like, and if it is appropriate.
Sure, but wouldn't it be better to put this in the GTK2 module instead?

Sure, that sounds good to me. How would we do that? The same way as I have it now, with a MODULE_INSTALL line in the makefile, and the GTK2Support.pmod directory?
It would make sense to me to put stuff which are not really part of the official "GTK" API (as documented on www.gtk.org) in a specific module, to avoid confusion about what is what. But whether that module should be called GTK2Support or GTK2.Support doesn't seem to matter much. The latter would keep the top level namespace a little cleaner.

Okay, I'll do that. I hope to submit something to cvs tomorrow sometime...
