Really? It seems the most intuitive syntax to me, I hadn't realise some
people found it wierd.

I also hadn't realised these were functions. Why not simply have them as
member variables that hold the proxies, so you can do "button.something
= 2"?

Heh, well I noticed that often the GTKmm docs for properties in the
get/set methods are often better than the plain GTK+ ones....
