Firstly Tim,
     I'd like to publicly apologize for bashing floating
GObjects as hard as I did, I spontainiously felt very
strongly about an issue and completely unloaded the whole
nine yards into my email composer and hit "send", I was
out of place for this argument; I'm sure that you wouldn't
be around freely contributing code if you didn't have the
best of intentions for GTK+.

This one here back in september puts the argument for floating
GObjects on the table (afaics the others are just implementation
details).

And with that I hang my head and go about my business.

Cheers,
