Since we're (un)breaking things, there doesn't seem to be a big reason
not to simply add new stuff. Is the segfault with disconnecting signals
fixed?

Could you refresh my memory: what were these child attributes?

Didn't you have a plan for this?

Yes, I've seen FIXMEs in e.g. widget. 

I'd like to add a function called newPangoLayout which is simply missing
and which I've been asked about.

Ok, let's try to release a new source tar next week. Weather we delay
the windows installer doesn't matter that much. Will the packaging stuff
break with 6.4.1?

Do we split the FIXME fixes? Which ones should I do?
