This makes sense, but Gtk# might not have a lot of strings for
translation

We could probably have the delegate defined in our System.Object as an
`internal' call, so at least developers of the Mono class libraries can
use this method.  It would not be exposed to the user applications and
we would remain compatible.

Am I missing something?  Should I go and add the internal _ delegate to
System.Object?
