Hi,
Many gtk+ functions have 'void' return type, so they are called for
side effects only. Usually the names of such procedures in Scheme are
suffixed with exclamation sign (!).
Also the common practice is to name the arguments and procedures,
which are of boolean type, with names ending with question mark (?).
IMHO, it would be useful to make corresponding updates in the
guile-gtk procudere, wich convert C names to Scheme names.
