You aren't going to be able to do a C++ wrapper where the widget
itself goes into the STL container by value. That won't work. You
can't copy widgets.

Have a look at the way Gtk-- and Inti work, that's basically how you
have to do it if you want a full-blown C++ feature set. If you just
want syntactic sugar and smart pointers you can do a thing like SDP or
like a prototype I did a while ago called Sugar.
