Create a new, self-drawing widget in Perl code.  This example shows how to
subclass Glib::Object/Gtk2::Widget types, how to override class closures,
how to define how much size you want to request for yourself, how to draw
shapes and text with Gdk, how to handle mouse events, why you'd want to
implement SET_PROPERTY for yourself, and how to emit signals.  And the
widget is actually functional, too.  :-)

#
# Glib::Objects are special; they're not normal perl objects (although
# the bindings go out of their way to make them act like it).
#
# if you just want to add a new function for yourself to a Gtk2::DrawingArea,
# the stuff we're about to get into is not strictly necessary; you could just
# re-bless the object reference into the decendent class and add an @ISA for
# it, like normal perl.
#
# however, adding signals, properties, or virtual function overrides to a
# GObject-based class requires fiddling with a GObjectClass structure
# specific to that subclass.  if you added a new property to a re-blessed
# Glib::Object, *all* instances of that reblessed object's GObject parent
# would have the new property!  that's because you didn't create a new
# GObjectClass for that new subclass.
#
# in order to create a new type to which you can add signals and properties,
# and which will be indistinguishable from "normal" GObjects at the C level
# (which means you can pass it to other gtk functions), you need to 
# register your subclass with the Glib::Type subsystem.
#
# here, we're registering the current package as a new subclass of
# Gtk2::DrawingArea, and in the process adding a signal and a few
# object properties.
