The canonical (and original) interface implementation was
org.gnome.gtk.FileChooser and GtkFileChooser.defs, which is the
interface implemented by org.gnome.gtk.FileChooserButton and friends. I
suggest you look at a method like FileChooserButton's setAction().

However, you really need to discuss [with us] what interfaces you are
trying to represent, how you plan to expose them, and what divergences,
if any, you are anticipating to make the API more appropriate to Java
developers.

Arbitrarily changing something from an interface to an object in
the .defs data sounds wildly inappropriate.

Coverage of GList* of things is implemented, though you need to mark up
the .defs data slightly. See Widget's getChildren() and the
corresponding data in  src/defs/GtkWidget.defs
