If your object is simple, you can just write a function to build one
and call it 50 times.

If it's more complicated, I would write a new compound widget. There's
a chapter in the gtk tutorial about this:

One of the nice things about gtk (compared to Xt based kits, anyway)
is that it's very easy to subclass widgets to change their behaviour.
