Hi 

I'm looking at gtksourceview and gtksourceview-sharp and I need a little
help

If I try with a mime/file type that will not be recognised by sourceview,
no cast exception is thrown.

Whenever I try to select a recognised language from SourceLanguages Manager,

I get an InvalidCastException in GetLanguageFromMimeType()
It also happens if I try to cast to SourceLanguage for elements in
SourceLanguagesManager.AvailableLanguages
The following code:

try{
	SList list = langMgr.AvailableLanguages;
	Console.WriteLine("There are {0} available languages", list.Count);
	for(int i=0;i<List.Count;i++){
		// What object types are returned?
		Console.WriteLine("Language: " + list[i].ToString());
	}
	SourceLanguage lang =
langMgr.GetLanguageFromMimeType("text/x-csharp");
	Console.WriteLine("Lang: " + lang.Name);
} catch (InvalidCastException e){
	Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
}


The output was

There are 14 available languages
Language: Glib.Object
...
...
Language: Glib.Object

System.InvalidCastException: Cannot cast from source type to destination
type
in <0x00068> Gtk.SourceLanguagesManager:GetLanguageFromMimeType(string)
in <0x0012a) Minotaur.Main:.ctor()


System
--------
Mandrake 9.2
gtksourceview 0.7.0
gtksourceview-sharp 0.1.0

Any help would be much appreciated
