Drifting slightly off-topic here... these GtkBuilder patches[1] do have
generic support for child properties, plus, if we want to get the ball
rolling, its really a sinch to implement a GContainerIface and implement
it by GtkContainer without breaking any api/abi and getting
container/child support right into GObject... things may have been
stagnating with the lack of core gtk+ maintainers but for my part I'm
still ready to lay the effort down for this item.
