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.
