Breadcrumb is probably more complicated than any of those, to be fair. > We would use it in the toolbar in the "mode selector" > (gnome.org/~fargiolas/togglegroup.png), currently we use three toggle > buttons related to three radio actions but it would be great to style > them as a single widget. > Anyone else would like a widget like this? Seems to me that this widget would be a sub-class of a RadioButton. It's a toggle button that's part of a RadioButtonGroup. My guess is that you could probably get this widget added to GTK+, as long as you give a formal explanation as to why you're not using a radio button for this.
