Errr, GTK_TYPE_GDK_EXTENSION_MODE exists, for me at least.)

(The types are autogenerated by scanning the header files.)

That's not what composite_child means. composite_child=TRUE
means that the widget is part of a larger composite widget.
The point for this is so that GUI builders can distinguish
children that have been added to a composite widget by
an application from children which are part of the widget.

It will be set when creating the composite widget. (Correct
me if I'm wrong here, Tim)
