Perhaps I didn't communicate this effectively or there was noise on the
line, but my policy on gtk/glib API usage:

	1. Make sure the code compiles with the baseline gtk+/glib version
	   (2.4.x right now).
	2. You can use new gtk+/glib API as long as the #1 isn't violated.
	3. New features that are added by #2 can be disabled to satisfy #1.

Sorry if I wasn't clear the last time this came up.

	Ah but that's the beauty of how gschem loads the rc files.
It loads any rc file found in a the destination directory.  At least
that's how it used to work, hopefully that is still the case.
