I've taken a fast look. It looks like bakery has been designed to 
develop multi-document applications (I don't have clear if each document 
window is shown in a different Gtk::Window or the documents share the 
same Gtl::Window).

The idea of the example that I've sent is develop an application with 
opens many Gtk::Window containers and all windows are running modeless.
Think in a music player: one window is the player control and another 
one is the play-list, another is the equalizer.

Sorry if I've not been enough explicit and I've introduced confusion 
with the terms.
