I don't understand why you dropped the idea of using gtkframe for the
subwindows. It has it's own window and you can select the border style.
You can pack a gtkhbox on the top with the bar and buttons. I don't know
what results you'll get withthis approcah regarding to your drawing
problem, but it's much easier than using a vbox as the parent class.
