Hi,
     Status is "there but incomplete", there is a framework in place
for non-widgets, I havent integrated any from gtk+ yet though and
there are probably some glitches I dont know about, off hand;
you cant have top-level non-widgets, the UI needs improvement;
currently you can only control non-widgets in the widget tree's context
menu and the only way to add non-widgets to the project is through
an "add" submenu, than being said, I use it for a custom toolkit
with non-widgets and it "worksforme".

Cheers,
