ok, I guess I was still using 3.6 cause I couldn't find anything 
about gdk.c.functions and had to import it myself. Upgraded. 
Actually, searching the install for gdk.c.functions returns 
nothing ;/ Oops, I guess you meant the master on git hub. Could 
you add a link on the main gtkD page to the github site?



Anyways, looks like this problem is solved/nearly solved so I'll 
move on to the next ;)
