what follows is JavaScript notation based on C GObject code.

function SoundWindow {

var box = new gtk["vbox"];

gtk["container"].add (this, box);

box.pack([volumebar, ...]);

}

SoundWindow.prototype = {

type_hint: GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_MENU,

name: "hildon-status-bar-popup",

resizable: false,

decorated: false,

/* i think this is the cute border you're asking about, and yes, it

seems like it's just hard coded into the C */

border_width: 20,

keep_above: true

}

fwiw, the same general approach is used by the display applet.
