I don't want to spend too much time on this, so I can't really do a
general purpose composite widget thingy. But I may create a simple
assistant-type thing to help create property/preference dialogs and
alerts. (Like the one Glade already has for GtkDialog widgets, but
better.)

I just need to think of an easy way of asking the user how many pages
they want, how many groups on each page, and how many items in each
group. That sounds like too many questions. Maybe I'll just put 3 items
in each group and let the user add or delete them.
