Hi Hamish, I'm not quite sure where these IDL files come from, but I guess it's reasonable to package them with the cabal file and get something working.
Assuming that these file are representing the content of the cabal packages, you just have to make sure that the version of Gtk+ you're using is at least the one that the files were generated for.
