    <summary>A list class used by Gtk</summary>
    <remarks>
      <para>
        <see cref="T:GLib.List" /> is managed wrapper for the underlying C list
	implementation used by Gtk+.  Various functions on the Gtk+
	API take lists or return lists in this form.
      </para>
      <para>
	The list deals with <see cref="T:System.IntPtr" /> objects, these are pointers into
	unmanaged resources.
      </para>
      <example>
        <para>
	  For example to create a list of widgets, you would use the
	  following sample:
	</para>
        <code lang="c#">
	  GLib.List MakeList (Gtk.Widget a, Gtk.Widget b)
	  {
	  	GLib.List l = new GLib.List ((IntPtr) 0, typeof (Gtk.Widget));
		l.Append (a.Handle);
		l.Append (b.Handle);
	  }
	</code>
        <para>
	  The <see cref="T:System.Type" /> argument to the <see cref="T:GLib.List" />
	  constructor, allows the list enumerator code to return
	  properly wrapped or demarshalled objects from the unmanaged
	  world into the managed world.
	</para>
