I am not sure if we need the two classes but I would love to see someone
step up and clean the GtkNotebook code in general for 3.0. Having worked
on a couple of bugs/features for GtkNotebook I must say that it has
probably the most crappy code of all Gtk+ widgets.
That doesn't blame any of the authors but this code has grown
incrementally and became worse as nobody had a clean concept. And most
of the code was already in Gtk+ 1.2.
