why not more code inheritance?

[nelson-gtk crynwr com]

Why doesn't gtk make more use of code inheritance?  Seems to me that
most invocations of *_realize are going to be 90% identical.  A quick
grep and eyeball shows that to be true.  Why not move that code into
the parent?  It would make the code easier to understand because the
differences would be obvious.
