Ah, now that makes sense. A little bit of education goes a long way
towards understanding. :)

The GtkDemo is great, but I would greatly appreciate the code being
explained. For example, the UIManager sample in the gtk-sharp-devel
package isn't documented all that well. It looks like a sexy way to do
runtime menu generation (/me drools), and the description isn't very
elucidating. Also, references don't serve well as tutorials.
