<title>Description</title>
<para>These functions are part of the <literal>PyGTK</literal> gobject
module but are not directly associated with a specific class.</para>
<note>
<para>
Many functions that previously were in this namespace got moved to <link
linkend="glib-functions"><literal>glib</literal></link> namespace instead. They
are still available in <literal>gobject</literal> for backward compatibility, but
not documented here. If you miss documentation for some function, be sure to
check <link linkend="glib-functions"><literal>glib</literal></link> first.
