gtk auto-updates and return values

I've been playing with gtk over the weekend. Although the Tk
documentation suggests that objects update themselves
automatically by default, this seems not to be the case in
Guile/Tk -- I need to invoke `update' explicitly in order
for the windows on the screen to be updated. Am I seeing
this correctly? Have other people observed this?

I have also noticed that Tk functions which return boolean
values return them in a Tcl context, i.e. as 1 and 0, both
of which evaluate to #t in Scheme. I will do some work on
this; if anyone knows why I should not, please give me a
yell (privately).

love, T.
