Wouldn't an array be better?  (Although, if you did use "byte[] data",
then you'd get the overhead of having the runtime bounds checking.)

Same comment.  Wouldn't using "byte[] data" be better?

That's probably because GdkRGB is NOT based on GObject.  It's
just a struct, if I remember correctly.  (A handwritten .cs
file likely needs to be created for it.)
