I'd object that, not every tool is a hammer.

IMHO adding sub-modes over sub-modes over sub-modes over sub-modes
instead of defining task focused class is one of the biggest design
issues of GTK+:

        $ wc -l *.c | sort -n | tail
            7291 gtktextbtree.c
            8231 gtknotebook.c
            8761 gtkiconview.c
            9619 gtkwindow.c
            9649 gtktextview.c
           10463 gtkfilechooserdefault.c
           10479 gtkentry.c
           14572 gtkwidget.c
           16443 gtktreeview.c
          441157 total
        
        
This approach is not scaling forever.

Ciao,
Mathias
