There's a reason, but not a particularly good one. The bulk of the .defs
files comes from the gtk distribution, and *they* weren't particularly
consistent. Java-Gnome inherited that inconsistency.

The good news is that with gtk-2.0, a lot of the language binding issues go
away and the whole thing can become a lot cleaner. The bad news is I have
no idea when 2.0 will be stable enough to develop against.
