Events will want to be turned into GObject signals I presume.
Yup, and signals can carry state (like events) so that all seems to fit.
At the C level every API that can fail has a GError ** argument.
This gets translated to whatever error mechanism a language
has, usually exceptions.
Understood, thanks.
