This roused my curiosity and I looked at org.gnu.glib.List and
org.gnu.glib.GListString.

Would it be useful for these to implement java.util.List?
Besides being more java-like, in 1.5 it would mean you could use one
as an argument to the new foreach construct.

I haven't, but I don't think you'll have any real trouble doing this.
FWIW Eclipse uses gtk (not via java-gnome though) and several things
from the ASF (ant, tomcat, lucene at least) without problems.  If you
run FC4, a some of this stuff is already gcj-compiled in the distro.
