I just found out that subclassing *does* work the old way, except for
classes that need arguments in their constructors, which Clutter.Box
does (layout_manager). It seems one cannot reuse constructors from
superclasses (without tangling with meta classes), so my current
workaround is to mimic the superclass's behaviour in my own
constructor, which is instance bound (__init__), not class bound like
Box.new():
class MyBox(clutter.Box):
def __init__(self, layout):
super(Map, self).__init__()
self.set_layout_manager(layout)
Hm, maybe a better approach is available...
