The equivalent following my suggestion would be:

    gtkhml* cview = ...;
    GtkWidget* frame = gtk_frame_new(0);

    gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(frame), GTK_WIDGET(cview));

    Gtk::Frame* my_frame = Glib::wrap(GTK_FRAME(frame));
    ...;

Either of these would seem to give the same result.  In both cases the user is 
coding gtkhtml in the native interface, so apart from that I think it is a 
matter of taste.  (I think I slightly prefer your version.)
