I tried to ask this here a day or two ago but had problems, so I asked
Ryan on IRC. The answer is that it's in GIO rather than GLib and there
is precedence; GIcon for example.
My (probably misguided) opinion is that if this type of stuff can't go
into GTK+ for some reason, there should be a `glib-ui` or `glib-gnome`
library or something like this. I have doubts how many apps linking to
GIO without GTK+ are going to need such a model, either because they
don't have a UI at all or are using some other toolkit which likely
provides a mechanism of its own for this.
Cheers,
Matthew Brush - Just some guy
