You can wrap any C object/widget with this function call:

GtkWidget *my_glade_widget=glade_func_that_creates_and_returns_widget(); 
Xfc::Gtk::Widget* my_xfc_widget = G::Object::wrap<Xfc::Gtk::Widget>(my_glade_widget);


G::Object::wrap<> calls the protected constructor for you. If you look 
at the XFC source code this is how XFC wraps C objects and widgets.
