I hacked a version of Gtk2::Widget->new for gtk2-perl (not XS) a few days ago.

Also I put this auto-label-from-string-thing in gtk2-perl,
Since one good thing about the inline version is the ease
of do wrapper in perl for the C functions. It would be doable
almost as easy with XS too.

"feature requests" in the tracker would be a good place.
