That add_window() documentation does seem to be nonsense, though maybe
it made sense once. I have corrected it:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtkmm/commit/?id=a40e5be5436324b8933e48357fcbcc14017c6946

By the way, there are some examples here, though they are not mentioned
in the text of the gtkmm book yet:
