GnomeNotebook not good. We can propagate gconf to GTK just fine, we
already do it in several cases (such as double click time). Trying to
get rid of libgnomeui bloat.

If you do a subclass it should be as someone else suggested, a "document
manager"/MDI sort of widget probably that uses notebook internally.
But however you do it the target should be GTK.

This probably interacts with the "main window widget"/"dock" TODO items
in the plan.
