[gst-devel] BRANCH-GOBJECT1 merged to HEAD!

[zaheer at grid9.net]

This is super.

Thanks Erik.

Maybe you should post to the gnotices list with the gobject2gtk code, so
that anyone developing at the glib2 branch can do releases for real
users based on the "stable" gtk1.2 branch.

Though of course their gtk2.0 code wont be backported :)

Regards

Zaheer
