I agree that these improvmements would be good.

When you say "I can't do it in D" do you mean that you literally 
need to use C itself, or do you just mean using the C GTK API 
from D?

Bear in mind that D includes many concepts and a lot of syntax C. 
In order to understand all of D, you will by definition end up 
learning a lot of C-like things, even if you don't use them very 
often in your real D code.
