I believe it's possible to make classes movable but not copyable. That
feels strange to me, but maybe that's just because I'm not using C++11
day to day. I hope that this wouldn't lead to code that looked too much
like the widgets were being copied. I can imagine a lot of confusion
from less experienced coders.

A patch (in bugzilla) would probably be the best way to show us how this
would be useful.

I've just updated (rebased) my c++11 branch for glibmm and put it in the
c++11v2 branch. So far it's mostly changes to examples to show how
gtkmm-based code might look nicer:
