It would seem wasteful to not build off Java Gnome, especially as the
maintainer is involved here and would probably be responsive to any
problems encountered. Not to mention that the community as a whole would
benefit from a large application using the bindings as problems would be
fixed (just as many problems if not more would be generated writing the
bindings from scratch, I'd be willing to bet).
