this project is half abandoned but its development right now is mostly for Linux.
I'll have a look on my mac but I suggest to have a look at jsgtk.

[iddan]

It has to do with the changes in the v8 engine so my guess it will break on Linux as well with node > 6. Anyway: built with node 5 and it worked. Sadly when I tried to load the Babel-core module the program freezed.

[iddan]

Any progression with this?

[benwaffle]

There's a fork with several improvements, including using NAN to reduce nodejs version breaks. See if that one works

[WebReflection]

will such fork ever send a PR in here? Otherwise I feel like I can close this repository and port at that fork directly.

[romgrk]

The fork has a new job and therefore much less time to spend hacking through the GObject/V8 APIs. There are also other forks, (eg https://github.com/larsu/node-gtk), with very interesting ideas, and it would be good to have everyone interested in this project work together.
I wouldn't recommend forwarding people directly to my fork, or at least not without clear notice that it is under development.

For this specific case I couldn't assert that it has been handled, though I know there is no direct Set(). It is done through Nan::SetPrototypeMethod.
