Yes, it does the job, but it seems a shame that I can't take advantage of all the facilities that should be available by using GObject with an OO language. I suppose a good way to proceed for now would be to compromise by deriving Typescript classes from GObject classes but assume that I can't override native virtual functions this way and use signals instead.

You can override the virtual functions, but they all start with vfunc_. You can find them in the documentation, for example Gtk.Widget's virtual functions start here: http://devdocs.baznga.org/gtk30~3.22.12/gtk.widget#vfunc-adjust_baseline_allocation

Yes, I saw the use of the vfunc_ prefix, but I figured that was something that registerClass sets up and overrides won't work properly without it. Or will vfuncs work and I only need to use registerClass to be able to add signals and properties etc?
