There is an almost opposite approach too, which can work sometimes.
Gtk::Widget* genericVersionOfSpecialWidget =
Glib::wrap (gtk_special_widget_new());
.... do stuff with the generic Gtk::Widget* ....
.... such as packing it into containers etc ....
then when you need something other than the generic Widget API:
GtkSpecialWidget* specialWidget = (GTK_SPECIAL_WIDGET*)
(genericVersionOfSpecialWidget->gobj());
gtk_special_widget_do_something_special (specialWidget);
