I couldn't find your hashable GtkObject patch on the list. If you
could resend it, that'd be great.
If we make a permanent mapping between gtk widgets and python objects,
we're going to have to think very hard to make sure that we get the
memory management right. As soon as your have circular references
things get messy. That is, you'll have a PyObject referencing a
GtkObject, and when you set the PyObject as data for the GtkObject,
the GtkObject holds a reference on the PyObject.
Not something I want to think about for the next release. :)
