The handlebox is just a container (with some extra functionality
all its own), so just add another container to it if you want.
If you mean it hasn't a distinct border, then try something
like the following:

  handlebox = gtk_handle_box_new();
  gtk_handle_box_set_shadow_type(GTK_HANDLE_BOX(handlebox),
GTK_SHADOW_OUT);
  gtk_container_set_border_width(GTK_CONTAINER(handlebox), 2);
  gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(parent_container), handlebox, FALSE, FALSE,
0);
  gtk_widget_show(handlebox);

Where the second and third lines will give it a raised border.

Make the handle box part of the notebooks parent container, or
else it will be withdrawn whenever the notebook page is
withdrawn. I have a feeling that any other workaround is
going to be a kludge.

It'll be called GTK+ 2,0, and it will appear when it's ready.
