Indeed, I'm the one who asked him to do this, and I was going to
submit a proposition to do likewise for all other "complex" widgets,
like GtkGammaCurve, and GtkInputDialog.

Note that the only reason we need this is because gtk-- plugs its own
GtkTypeInfo in for its widgets, so we can't use all the
gtk_<widget>_new() functions.

Therefore, either we duplicate all the "widget setup" code in each
_new() into the gtk-- constructors (which is what we currently do,
since it's quite tolerable for most widgets), or we get a new entry
point in the construction chain right after the call to
gtk_type_new().

Aside of that, I agree with your proposition :-).
