Thanks Murray, I'll give this one a better look. It just stroke me that I don't need a "container" in the GtkContainer sense of the word, only a widget that is capable of delegating every event handler it has to a single child. Like size allocate, expose, etc... Can anyone help me with the methods I'd have to override to pass events on to this child widget ?
