Yes, somebody has been bitten by this before. It's a shame, really since
importing Gtk qualified is a real pain. It's also annoying since Arrow
is a rather useless widget. The proposal to rename it never made it,
since there doesn't seem to be a good name. ArrowWidget?

Shall we have ArrowWidget in the next patch-level release?
