Am I allowed to vote on my own question? :) After my third Gnome dialog,
I agree strongly with Joaquin -- this is the class structure that
accurately reflects the relationship between Gnome and Gtk. (That is,
Gnome is built on top of gtk.) It does require a little restructuring of
the Gtk code, but IMO this makes the gtk code easier to read anyway.
