You're right, a non-static function shouldn't be called create*, would in=
cluding
it as e.g. subpixbuf(...) be a better option though? Because if you think=
 nabout
it, everywhere else in gtkmm C functions that operate on an instance are
generally wrapped as member functions, with constructors and create metho=
ds
wrapping C functions that construct something -- this much is obvious and=
 makes
sense -- but gdk_pixbuf_new_subpixbuf seems to fit both categories, it ac=
cepts
an instance as its first argument /and/ constructs another.

To be honest I found it odd that the feature is a static create method at=
 all,
which imho feels unnatural to use. It doesn't feel like constructing, and=
 if
gtkmm didn't have need of create methods, I doubt it would've been implem=
ented
as a constructor.

Also, saying that
  pixbuf->subpixbuf(...)                      (object->method(args))
isn't much more convenient than
  Gdk::Pixbuf::create_subpixbuf(pixbuf, ...)  (objecttype_method(object, =
args))
seems like saying that e.g.
  button->set_relief(Gtk::RELIEF_NONE)
isn't much more convenient than
  gtk_button_set_relief(button, GTK_RELIEF_NONE)

Anyway, thanks for your time. Sorry to be bothering you with such trivial=
 things.
