[gtk-server] clisp, gtk-server & glade-2.10

Hello,

I have tried the Jim Bailey's package that is mentionned at the end of the 
Mac Carter documentation page which is devoted to gtk-server and clisp
(http://www.turtle.dds.nl/gtk-server/index.html). As it is said there this way 
is very interesting and easy enough to be used by a newcomer in lisp 
(like me).
However since feb-2005, date of the gtk.lisp/gtk-glade.lisp delivery, and the 
last glade-2.10 ship, there is perhaps a gap which is  a bit awkward. In 
matter of fact some elements/functions that glade gives almost by default 
(gtk_image_menu_item_* for instance) are unknown from gtk-glade and it were a 
pity not to use them.
So as an exercise I've introduced some tiny new functions in the Bailey's 
files (gtk-glade.lisp et gtk-server.cfg). 
That is :
- gtk_image_menu_item_*, 
- gtk_drawing_area_size 
- and gtk_hscale_new_with_range. 
The later doesn't work for passed values =/= 0 ; probably for the three 
parameters expected by gtk which are double-float values while this type is 
not defined in gtk-server. I then declared them as single-floats and get the 
widget but only for min, max and step parameters set to 0.
Then my question :
How can we fix that ?

Regards
Alain
