It would borrow the
* get_text* (which returns a string if the XMPModel
changed) and
* set_text method (which sets the value in the XMPModel in case the
user entered something in the widget).
I actually thought I would also be able to use some of the setup data
structures or object construction methods. This is almost the same for
the GtkEntry and the TextView and probably for any other widget. For
example:
static void gimp_xmp_model_entry_set_property (GObject *object,
guint property_id,
const GValue *value,
GParamSpec *pspec);
static void gimp_xmp_model_entry_get_property (GObject *object,
guint property_id,
GValue *value,
GParamSpec *pspec);
the class_init, the constructor method need to be always re-declared?

In the case of composition - correct me if I'm wrong - I could use some kind of
a general object in e.g. the private of my entry widget:
typedef struct
{
GIMPXMPBinding *binding;
} GimpXmpModelEntryPrivate;
and would be able to use all my methods through that binding object?
typedef struct
{
const gchar *schema_uri;
const gchar *property_name;
XMPModel *xmp_model;
} GIMPXMPBinding;
Although I have to admit - currently there is not much to share (if it really
comes down to three functions). It would almost look like refactoring this code
into utility functions as the better solution.
Cheers,
