Everything _should_ be documented in the gtkmm2 docs. However,
compared to the amount of work that has gone into coding, our documentation
effort has been rather poor, I'm afraid. Please, if you read some reference
documentation and you find that it is incomplete or unclear, file a bug
report at bugzilla ("documentation" build an own category of bugs).
And if you feel like it, attach a patch that improves the documentation.
