I think it might help if we know all the places in the Gtk# APIs where IList could/should be used in place of GLib equivalents. 
It might be more obvious then what the use cases are. I'll try and put something useful together.

I suspect that a lot of beautification can easily occur just by making GLib.[S]List implement IList and then casting GLib list return values to an IList.
