[java-gnome-hackers] Not all byte arrays are strings...

[Tom B. <Tom...@Su...>]

The org.gnu.gnome.UIInfo class won't compile on my system because some
pixmap buffers were converted to strings, causing multiple overloaded
methods with the same signatures.  

Besides the file not compiling, a more basic issue is that the pixmap
arrays are now accessed (and possibly modified) as UTF char sequences,
which they aren't.  There needs to be two native setPixmapInfo methods,
one for pixmaps defined by names (strings), and one defined by pixmap
info structures.

In general, we need to be alert that only those native API that
reference gchars are converted to Java chars and Strings.

sorry. my mistake. I've reverted the file back to the original form. I
guess I shouldn't have been messing with what I didn't really
understand. I'll leave the gnome classes alone.

I'll take a look at the UIInfo this evening.
