( yes I mean that )

Ok.

GtkWidget, public flags:
	GTK_NO_WINDOW - flag to indicate a widget which draw things on it's
parent's window.

So they do exist....

Sorry for the daly.
I have, right beside me, a laptop that runs a gtk program. This gtk program
is taken from the gtk examples, but slightly modifyed.

It presents a large button, with a pixmap, a label widget, and a scrolled
window with a gtk_list in it.

It's not useful, but it really proves that you *can* add any widget you like
to the button as a container.

gtk_container_add( GTK_CONTAINER( button ), any_widget );

But if you wan't many widgets inside the button, I think you need to store a
box inside the button first, and then add your widgets to the box.
( gtk_hbox / gtk_vbox )


The gtk_drawable is a widget that (I think) serves as a baseclass for
user-derieved classes that - draws user-defined things.
( Correct me if this was wrong... )
