I found it has a problem , the error message:

Error: ambiguous call; both gtk2.set_resize_mode(a: PContainer, resize_mode: guint) and gtk2.set_resize_mode(container: PContainer, resize_mode: TResizeMode)

match for: (PContainer, int literal(2))

I am planning on taking the gtk2 wrapper out of the Nimrod repo into a separate repo so I will fix this once I do that.

thanks! and how about it ? something like this, proc add*(container, widget: PWidget) = add(container.PContainer, widget)

we can avoid write code like below: set_border_width(PContainer(Window), 5)

just write code: set_border_width(Window, 5)

Well, currently the gtk2 module is a simple wrapper of gtk. There is a LOT of room to make it more nimrodic, i.e. more idiomatic. But I don't have time to do all of these improvements. A great thing would be a proper gtk binding which uses this wrapper but that is a lot of work. Once I create the repo you'll be able to fork it and create pull requests as you see fit :)
