I was definitely under the impression that GtkPlug is supposed to be 
used with widgets in another process as explained in the ref docs. IPC 
would be a pain for sure in that case. When you derived a new widget, 
things worked fine I presume? Even with GtkPlug used for an in-process 
widget?

Anyway, please do keep us posted if you resolve this.

Happy new year to you as well :) Us kiwis in New Zealand get to see the 
light of day before anyone else, arrival of the new year is just that 
little bit more special for us. Cheers.
