Yeah, I think so.  At one point (a long time ago) I did something with an
hbox (I think, maybe it was a table) all within Python.  I laid it out
window-button-window-button-window left-to-right and tracked the mouse drag
movement on the buttons using that to resize the neighboring windows.  I
used the image from a grab handle as the image of the very thin buttons to
make it all look more-or-less like Gtk built it.  It's not a terribly
elegant solution, but you should be able to hide all the ugly in a class.
