This is the best news among a lot of great news! It would be great to
see a list of the changes to Gtk; I'm looking through:

https://github.com/mono/gtk-sharp/commits/master/gtk

which I guess would have the relevant changes? I see items like:

https://github.com/mono/gtk-sharp/commit/bd41e1150debce1bf009b13ad92dd969c1ef7c6f#gtk

(a profile checker to make sure that graphic calls are in being done
in the correct thread... fantastic!)

It sure would be nice to see developers writing about any of this...
nothing in monologue:
http://www.go-mono.com/monologue/

Is there a secret source of information that we should be following?
Or can I make a plea for more transparent development?
