Oh, and what you say for RubyGNOME (“Take an almost 1:1 port of the C API, take away the ugly casting macros, mix in closures for handling signals”) applies exactly to Gtk2-Perl as well.

Most people probably knows this and checks the source for the stuff to include, but just an improvement suggestion
Great post all in all!
cheers

‘ bye is boot
init
window: hello
hello ” Hello, World!” setTitle
show: hello
gtk_main

Removes unnecessary helper routine, the Title is used in the constructor, but its useful to keep the explicit assignment to see a typical piece of C# code

using Gtk;

public class HelloWorld {
public static void Main(string[] args) {
Gtk.Window window = new Gtk.Window(”Hello World”);
window.Title = “Hello, World”;
window.DeleteEvent = delegate { Application.Quit (); };
window.ShowAll();
Application.Run();
}
}

Also I would recommend to use :delete_event instead of ‘delete-event’, to me it looks nicer (and you dont need to use the closing ‘ in this case as well)
