we could put some nasty name space clobbering code in Gtk2 that went
through perl's symbol tables periodically got rid of anything we didn't
approve of. :)
there's no perfect answer, i would have to say that either Gtk2::Perl or
Gtk2Perl would work. either way enforcing it will be hard. we just need
to make a decision and hope for the best, heh.
on top of that, there's already a few things in the Gtk2 name-space that
probably shouldn't be (and we put them there)
