     These functions allow one to both read and set properties of a Gtk
     object by name and also in the usual S-like manner.
     'gtkObjectGetArgs' retrieves the values of one or more properties
     by specifying their name as a vector. 'gtkObjectGetArg' retrieves
     the value of a single property and avoids having to worry about
     whether the result is a value or a list of values of length 1.
     'gtkObjectSetArgs' allows one to set one or more properties by
     name in the form 'gtkObjectSetArgs(obj, x=1, y="a")'.
     '[.GtkObject' and '[[<-.GtkObject' provide S-like accessors.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     gtkObjectGetArgs(obj, argNames)
     gtkObjectGetArg(obj, argName)
     gtkObjectSetArgs(obj, ..., .vals)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

     obj: the Gtk object whose properties are to be accessed

argNames: a character vector giving the names of the properties to
          retrieve.

 argName: a string (i.e. character vector of length 1) giving the name
          of the property whose value is to be retrieved.

     ...: for '[.GtkObject', this is a character vector giving the
          names of the properties of interest. For 'gtkObjectSetArgs',
          this is a collection of name=value pairs where 'name' is the
          name of the property to set and 'value' is the value to which
          it is to be set.

   .vals: a named list similar to '...' in 'gtkObjectSetArgs' 

_N_o_t_e:

     THIS STUFF IS VERY OLD AND DEPRECATED (compatibility wrappers for
     RGtk 1)
