My GTK+ it getting rusty, but what about using gobj() like this:

  gtkhtml *cview = ...;
  Gtk::Frame *my_frame = ...; //

  // get the underlying C instance of frame and add cview to it with GTK+
  gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(my_frame.gobj()), GTK_WIDGET(cview));

Then you can do whatever you want with my_frame using the gtkmm
interface, and similarly do whatever you want with cview using its C
interface.
