Somes taughts, conceptually, I would have liked the grapples/handles/knobs
to be used like the GTK_CONTAINER(frame). Be able to do
grapplesIn/grapplesOut, draw the frame, modify the frame, like the color,
the size, the way it is hatched, shadowed.
The drawing objects can be group, resize/move has a group.
A hook to treat the inside hit in a special way.
