Hi,

I have to update my question, because I was still working on it. What I 
didn't mentionned in my first mail that the code I used is mainly based 
on the example of in the online gtkmm book chapter 26.2. Just now I 
discoverred that signals are propagated to the child widgets, but the 
wigdets are nor visible. I think the are coverred by the Gdk::Window.

How can I solve this
