Excellent!

I'd go with ('', 0, 0)

Documentation is for the weak. ;-)

The only reason I know/am suggesting the above is because that's what I've
grown accustomed to seeing in the cases you describe. If I didn't have an
answer, however, what I would do is see what other apps do -- starting with
either gtk-demo and/or Gedit (which as a general rule seems to use standard
widgets).

Heh. :-) (And sorry! And thank you for doing it!!)
