465 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).

470 interfaces to dynamic types.

1200 also uses less memory overall.

2873 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
2877 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
2878 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
2879 since they are in glib.h
