Just some few comments:

Good idea - perhaps I can do this, I also need this for GTop.

What about adding something like a general GnomeMDIContainerChild widget
and the init function gnome_mdi_container_child_new () taking a
GnomeUIInfo for the Menu and a widget to use inside ?

This would allow people to use some code like this:

	label = gtk_label_new (_("This is a test"));

	child = gnome_mdi_container_child_new (NULL, label);

	gnome_mdi_add_child (mdi, GNOME_MDI_CHILD (page));
	gnome_mdi_add_view (mdi, GNOME_MDI_CHILD (page));

to avoid the subclassing.

Jaka, what do you think about this ?

You mean we should not baboon-ify it for 1.0 ? Well, there's a lot
of other stuff to do, perhaps it's really best to leave this untouched.
