I believe we are pretty close to gtk2.2.

I am not sure if the def files do exist for the latest gtk.  Also,
the def files were changing and the generator was not changed to
the latest format.  Unfortunately I believe this is going to be a
manual process.  

It is not necessary (nor desirable) to match each and every method
in the native lib with a method in java-gnome.  What is important is that
we provide all of the core functionality that is not already provided for
in Java.  For this release we should look for new widgets that we currently 
do not support or new capabilities that were added to existing widgets 
that we do not support.
