You should read the chapters in my book about GtkObject and writing a
custom widget, those are here:
 http://developer.gnome.org/doc/GGAD/cha-objects.html
and here:
 http://developer.gnome.org/doc/GGAD/cha-widget.html
and you probably want to read about Gdk:
 http://developer.gnome.org/doc/GGAD/cha-gdk.html

or to find a printed copy, simply:
 http://developer.gnome.org/doc/GGAD/
