Yes, that's what I intended.

But there are some hard cases left now, which needs some more 
investigation.

Unfortunately, the return values of the different snprintf() 
implementations vary if the given buffer is too short, to quote to GLib 
docs 
(http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-String-Utility-Functions.html#g-snprintf):

"In versions of GLib prior to 1.2.3, this function may return -1 if the 
output was truncated, and the truncated string may not be 
nul-terminated. In versions prior to 1.3.12, this function returns the 
length of the output string.

The return value of g_snprintf() <cid:part1.07020603.02060201@web.de> 
conforms to the snprintf() function as standardized in ISO C99. Note 
that this is different from traditional snprintf(), which returns the 
length of the output string."


As the existing calls rely on the return values and I'm in doubt if this 
will work in all cases even today ...
