Well, if all the things you are going to be putting in this container are
python programs, why not say that they all have to be python modules which
have a function called get_toplevel(), which returns the toplevel widget
for that module, which can then be shown in your container.
If you need languages other than python, or multiple processes, you may be
able to do something with the GtkPlug/GtkSocket widgets.
