[Gtk-sharp-list] string/length APIs

[Miguel de Icaza]

Hello guys,

   There are a number of APIs in Gtk# that take a text and a length
argument.  Like for instance:

	Clipboard.SetText (string text, int len)

    Which makes sense from the C world side of things, but I believe it
is not very C#-ish.  Would we like to change this?  

    I added in the past a few overloaded methods that computed the
length for us and called the base method, but maybe we should just have
the C#ish version?

    Attached is a list of functions with this property.
