	Ah - good catch; thanks for that ! :-)

	Right - lots of other people will hit this no doubt.

	Sounds very sensible. Just one minor complaint: - I loathe the
implementation of gtk_check_version - its impl. is as clear as mud, it
returns an non-translated string not a boolean etc. etc. ;-)

	Any chance of a tweak to use:

GParamSpec*
gtk_widget_class_find_style_property (GtkWidgetClass *klass,
				      const gchar    *property_name)

	To see if that property is there by name ? which would make that
perhaps more readable in future ? We'd need to use GTK_WIDGET_GET_CLASS
to get the class. Hopefully with that we can get it into
libreoffice-3-5-2 :-)

	Many thanks !

		Michael.
