I don't like this workaround either. It really seems to be a GTK design
flaw. :(
But I'm interested in a solution because I have done a Vala port of
gtk-sharp-ribbon [1][2], a Google Summer of Code 2007 and 2008 project
by Laurent Debacker [3], just to see how far I could get with Vala. This
project makes heavily use of overriding Gtk.Container.forall(). Most
things already work when I change the vapi manually. I will see if I can
put it online soon if I find some space to put it.
