this is a general case question. I made myself familiar with gtk+ and

realize that I do reuse some code very often. So I thought about
abstraction and creation of objects and classes which could then be
easily reused. so here's my question: does it make sense to create a
class/object which only creates the main window. this object will then
make a call to a class which creates the UI inside the window. then I
might have different main-window-objects (like in evolution where you
have a mail/calendar/task window inside the main window) which should
get created by the UI class as requested by the user and put between the
menu and status bars. of course the window class would create a default
object first so the main window wouldn't be empty.
is this kind of abstraction useful? or would I just break a fly on the
wheel?
I tried to study different code (gedit, eog, evolution) but I can't
actually see a clear strategy on this issue. I'm welcome for any
suggestions / enlightenment.
cheers,

Just a response.
The effort you project saving is analogous to that saved using GLADE2 or
GNOME for development. Both the tool (glade) and the added library
(gnome) provide the same type of repetitive saving. I would suggest
using gnome, or continuing as you are; if you don't care for generators
like glade. The official GNOME2 developer's guide is the best GTK+
and GNOME programming guide I've seen so far. Especially, if your
planning to create your own GTK widgets to package feature/functions you
use often.
