I submitted this patch twice to gtk-devel-list, and received no comments, so
am committing it.  Although not exhaustively tested, I have been using this
gtk+ for a week w/o problems, and I did read the code to ensure that nothing
ever writes to these data structures. If by chance people encounter SEGV's in
gtk+ code that is setting values in global data structures, this patch could
be a possible culprit.

	* {gdk,gtk}/*.c: Make read-only data structures "static const" to
	allow them to be shared, mainly including (but not limited to) the
	GtkTypeInfo structures for each class.

	* gtk/gtkfilesel.c: Add /net to the "leave me alone" directory listing.
