yea ok so i've got linking to libwnck kinda working, ie i can get back
the glist of windows (i can count them) but... after looking at the
libwnck source i notice that the windows are gobjects, and i don't know
how to expose them into c#. Is there any documentation on this process
from how it was done with the gtk libraries?
