I could, but why?

The header is now the window title. Check the other patch / screenshot :)
(yeah, I know, the theme looks bad ;))

That's just stupid, no matter how common it is (it *is* a box, so the
variable is of box type too. The only exception would be if the variable
were public and the caller weren't supposed to know what kind of widget it
is). The gobject system is bad enough as is, I don't want to obfuscate it
any more.
