There is already some stuff in the gtkmm book, because I think libglademm is

Feel free to patch the book.

I think I've done that.

Not sure. I've done a bit of that.

I feel your aggregation thing is questionable, but I'm not sure why. Maybe I
don't like the idea of having a class called *Window that isn't derived from
a Window. I don't have an alternative.
