I don't know, I don't use GTK with C. It could be that they simply don't,
and leave it up to the programmer to proper compare with gfalse and gtrue.

I only know that in some cases the longbool situation went
wrong, and while that was fixable by doing   somebool=gtrue, it had other
problems.

I was halfway fixing with gtrue when (IIRC) Florian committed the
boolean<xx> stuff.
