Are you sure enums cannot be created at run-time? I assure you that I'll
try, regardless of your intentions. :-) (Come to that, authors of external
widgets will be doing this, regardless.)

I'm thinking of something like this:

   typedef void (*GtkTypeCreationHook)(GtkType new_type);

   gtk_type_add_creation_hook(GtkTypeCreationHook * hook);

When this function is invoked, it'll immediately call the hook function
with all present types (including these ever-so-interesting enums), and
then also invoke it when new types are added with gtk_type_unique().
