Hi Florian,

Ok, expected, but I wanted to double check - Not an excuse ofc,
but pygobjec is mostly written in C, including their callback and
gclosure marshal(ers), so when they need to either replace or access
such VFunc pointer (or place a call upon them), they can (re)use quite
a lot of the upstream code.

G-Golf is 100% guile scheme code (nearly, a few C function exceptions,
but unrelated to this part of what we are dealing with), including both
the Callback and GClosure marshal(ers) - quite a diff context ... but i
wanted to make sure ...

Very annoying indeed - eventually we'll track and fix this ...

Ok - But as time allows, we should still try to (fix this bug and) run
all other examples in guix, except the peg-solitaire, and the
animation based examples, they should all run  - i am especially
interested to see if the adw1-demo works fine ...

Right, I sign the tags, and the tarballs -
