Re: Using inherited window with GtkBuilder

[tristan van berkom gmail com]

This will work in C,


Two questions:
  - what C symbol does vala generate 
    for your get_type() stub
  - what does vala's implementation
    of GtkBuilder->get_type_from_name()
   do ?

Answering those questions should
get you there

Cheers,
   -Tristan
