I would certainly love to learn more about your problems here. I do not 
understand the meaning of "project scope" [see my previous mail for a

standalone-gtkmm-code converter and libglademm is a library to load 
glade files at runtime.

I can not think of a more decent methodology than public methods (or 
public variables=widgets's methods).
