It does help *very* much. Thank you. I hope you don't answering a
couple questions.
Once an object of GnomeCanvasGroupExtClass is instantiated, can it be
cast as something else having to do with the print_info (Printable?)?
How is that done? And, when the cast is performed, what functionality
is exposed?
Thanks a lot!
