Well, i too think it would be better to design components in a visual tool, but the visual tool is
just not ready; patience. I don't know when Glade 3 will be released, but there is Gazpacho, which
is based on a pre-Glade3 code, and _maybe_ it can do that:

I've never tried it, maybe i'll do this today.

You shouldn't use that method; it's just for internal use (the reason why it's not
private/protected/etc is because it may be used by other bindings in other packages). To do what
you want you would just instantiate a Widget like you'd do with any Java object. Example:

public class MyWidget extends VBox {
   public MyWidget() {
      super();
      add(new Button("Hello World"));
   }
}

then use it:

Window win = new Window(WindowType.TOPLEVEL);
win.add( new MyWidget() );

Cheers,
J.V.
