Since glade-3 makes extensive use of object introspection
(which is the main principal behind glade-3's design); it
is essential that the project widgets be actual instantiations
of their said classes.

Obviously this calls for some special-case code; I am
quite convinced at this time that substituting a GtkWindowClass
with a SomethingElseClass (which would have to be done from
the core) would:
    a.) be more work in the end
    b.) add unneeded/unwanted complexity in the glade-3 core

I think the proposal I made here:
http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/glade-devel/2005-December/001127.html

is an appropriate/clean solution & shouldnt cost more in terms
of time invested (also seems to me that its been done before).

Cheers,
