Here are some parts that I have noticed. GtkObject::signal_handler* (or it may be GtkWidget I forget)

Implemented now in CVS as methods of GObject class.

GtkContainer::children, get_children

Both implemented, although children() is deprecated and issues appropriate notice.

There is a GtkContainer::get_child in the docs that shouldn't be there. I don't know if that is a problem with docgen or the sources.

It's a method of GtkBin class.

Several of the GtkTextBuffer methods require parameters of type GObject.

Like what? I couldn't find any.

There are some conflicting messages if you try to add a window to another window. Try the following code: <?php $window1 = new GtkWindow(); $window2 = new GtkWindow(); $button = new GtkButton(); $window1->add($window2); $window1->add($button); ?> The first call to add will give you an appropirate message about window being a top level widget and how it can't be added to another widget. No problem there right? The second call to add gives a message about how window is a bin and can't have two children. That message shouldn't appear because the first add should have failed. This is not so much a missing implementation thing as it is a bug I think.

Nothing we can do about this. gtk_container_add() does not return any sort of status flag to let us know whether addition succeeded or failed. -Andrei
