It might make sence to add the last argument to g_type_register_static()

type =  g_type_register_static (GTK_TYPE_WIDGET, "MyType",   &type_info,
                                               (G_TYPE_FLAG_CLASSED |
                                                
G_TYPE_FLAG_INSTANTIATABLE |
                                                G_TYPE_FLAG_DERIVABLE));

(this is my guess; why call a instance_init function on a 
non-instantiatable class ?)
