GtkWidgets extend GInitiallyUnowned and are automatically freed when
removing from parent widget. We need to add an extra reference, to make
sure the object keeps alive as long as the java widget has a reference
to it
Makes it easier to overwrite behavior in subclasses. Have a fallback
implementation for ViewGroup.
Save some _GET_LONG_FIELD / _SET_LONG_FIELD calls by directly passing
the native pointers to and from native methods.
