Hi Florian,

Fwiw, they actually worked fine till day one till 2024-09-04, the day i
pushed this commit a3952000ae205c27573ab0eaf2176131b51e34cf,
that 'broke' them ...

But i am glad you confirm everything is fine now, thanks.

Ok, thanks for trying - This is going to be quite a lot more complex to
debug and fix, and i may need the help of some guile/goops guru ...

The error actually varies on to what 'corrupt' the instance upon which
the !callback accesor is being run, but it is always a !callback
accesor call that triggers the error

Ofc - It is a relief for all Guix users that the GNOME team finally
fixed the GLib/GObject/GI/GdkPixbuf packages so that G-Golf (and
other GI lang binding for that matter) work(s) 'out of the box':

	Could you post a mini guide with the steps a guix user would
	have to do, till guix is released, to get this 'proper GI' env
	for g-golf? then i can point to the link in #guile and #guix
	when that applies;

	And till g-golf is released and updated in guix, the steps they
	have to do to locally build and install the latest g-golf

	Many thanks!

Let me know if you need help for your Kodi project, and keep us
informed ... when you have a link to where the code is, share with
us ...
