No tilde.  Try:
type t = { g: x:int -> int }

One nice thing about ocaml, is that the top level prints out 
syntax-correct types.  So, you see: 

# let f ~x = x + 3 ;;
val f : x:int -> int = <fun>
#

Note that lack of a tilde on the type definition.  I just mention this 
because it's how *I* remember when a tilde is needed and when it isn't 
:-).
