Didn't we talk about G_INLINE_FUNC a loooong time ago about my use of it
in Xfce and decide that we shouldn't do it?  At any rate, it would have
worked ok with glib 2.2 (or maybe 2.4, don't remember), but glib 2.4 (or
2.6) changed how G_INLINE_FUNC is defined, and broke a lot of things.  I
filed a bug on gnome bugzilla about it, but they basically said "you
shouldn't be using G_INLINE_FUNC for stuff like that".  I think I asked
what it was for, then, but I didn't get much of an answer.

So, yeah... don't use G_INLINE_FUNC.  The fact that its behavior is
different between glib versions is more than enough to make using it
undesirable.
