Gtk-- fixed this problem 1-2 months ago. Subclassing from existing
widgets now works correctly and is as easy or easier than in Qt. And
it works with plain C++ - user code is always C++ code and tools
handling C++ code (like emacs C++ mode) need no changes to handle it,
Browsing through gtk-- web page helps quite much, specially if you
know either gtk or Qt already.
