Hi Juan and Kjell, thank you both a lot for the valuable information. Of course I know that gtkmm is a project that relies on volunteers and free time. I'm really glad it exists as it allows me to use GTK+ without dealing with the boilerplate code plain C requires.
I'll try to take a look into the current git and see if the latest changes help in my case. Next to that: Is there a way to "calculate" the completeness of gtkmm/glibmm (i.e. API coverage of GTK+/glib)?
