I don't know a lot about gtk inheritance, and I have been spoiled by python's extensive use of multiple inheritance, but I think the answer to your question may lie in asking whether your new widget is something or contains something. IE is your widget a frame? Or is it a widget that contains frames. If I were you I'd inherit from GtkVBox. Then have two frames as members and place them in the vbox (which is already a container).
