    I see. I was wondering about this but I thought it was cleaner to keep
    test code like this out of the main tree. On the other hand if it helps
    developers get up to speed on using the widget and the bonobo control it
    might be a good idea.

    What do others think? Should we put the AbiWidget and test-container.c
    in the main build system?

    I guess I already crossed the line withe --AbiControl command-line
    option.

    What do others think?

    Cheers

    (PS there are some casting issues I need to work out still with the
    widget.)
