It really is a shame though considering:
 o if you had the right language binding, say pygtk or gtkmm..
 o and you had some half decent documentation or a good tutorial
 o and if we had been able to go an extra mile to allow Glade to
    recognize your custom widget type without writing a small catalog
    (maybe even using rich gir introspection data to do it).

... well then it would really be as simple and natural for you to
write your code inside customized implementations of GTK+
widgets as to write code that runs in callbacks etc, it would
simply be a choice of design case by case.

Anyway just seems we fell just about 5% or 10% short of the mark here...
just too bad I guess.
