Hi,

We are programming with Objective-C and X-Window already for a while now
and we hit the same problems. Here our solutions:

The only thing that helps here is to double the definition as follows
	
	   struct _Aspect {
		   int x;  /* numerator */
		   int y;  /* denominator */
           } min_aspect;
	   struct _Aspect max_aspect;

Basically, I believe that Objective-C and everybody(thing) else should
name its root node more specific, since "Object" is to easy to be used by
somebody else.
