Could someone give a brief overview of what the ObjectOps and ObjectType
stuff do?  Is this still used or is it depricated in the StdProps code?

We don't need a max_children do we? unsigned int child_count; perhaps.

Also some way to store an arbitrary structure (i.e. Gtk Widgets - This

handle attributes?  Should we use a hash or hard code them in a
structure?

This is a good start.  Is there any other code that you guys are working
on that you just havn't shared yet?  I think we need to see more
progress.
