Yes, or use gnomemm 1.2 which has something similar. Gtkmm 2 really is far
better. You should get extra points just for insisting on using it instead
of gtkmm 1.2 in your course. With gtkmm 1.2 you will waste a lot of time
figuring out GTK+ 1.2 eccentricities instead of learning about C++ and GUIs.
