I just want to leave my system gtkfixed intact and just create a new widget named "gtkfixed2" or something like that! I think that's feasible, but I am missing something.

1) You must not name your widget gtkanything, use a different prefix.

2) You are missing that GtkFixed may use private Gtk+ functions, include
private Gtk+ headers, contain various infrastructural stuff such as the
symbol aliasing support, etc.  Nothing of this can appear in a custom
widget and it may be non-trivial to replace.
