You need to marshal your own structs but there is support for passing
them over the wire.  You open up a struct container and then add each
element of the struct to that containter.  On the other end you
basically do the same thing in reverse.  I am not sure if Colin has
gotten around to supporting structs directly in the glib bindings yet
but it is a hard problem because there is no way to know the elements of
a struct dynamically and when you start getting into structs that
contain pointers it gets hairy.
