I do hope you realize that comparing an attempt made (almost literally) 10 years ago is going to be fairly different from one made now. > At the time there was no tutorial, no decent documentation on how to write a > layout manager, no examples aside the (quite complicated) source of GtkTable > and the likes.

You can read the API reference: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkWidget.html https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkContainer.html And the wiki: https://wiki.gnome.org/HowDoI/CustomWidgets If something is not clear, you can file bugs against the documentation; those are routinely fixed very quickly.
