Have a look at the existing cutecash code: In src/optional/gtkmm/gncmm/Account.hpp there's an gnc::Account, and as you see there, the module has a gnc::GncInstance base class that wraps the QofInstance "object" that manages the qof parts. This in turn is derived from Glib::Object which is the C++ version of a GObject. In my opinion, this wrapping of GObject and also (while it still exists) QofInstance in the end looks very well possible and the resulting C++ classes look well enough like a real C++ class. Disclaimer for all other readers: The C++ part of this discussion is currently only an academic one. It has not yet anything to do with the real work that is done in the coming months.
