Personally I continue using "= nullptr" for pointers. Uniform init is
great for generic code as it works for anything default constructible,
and great in many other situations, but to initialize a pointer to
null I think "= nullptr" is as clear and explicit as you can get.

But I'm not a gtkmm dev or even a gtkmm user, and YMMV :-)
