You aren't "writing widgets" you are creating GtkWidget:s representing the
widgets you want displayed. GtkWidget:s aren't a pidgin thing, they are
GTK+ widgets. You are creating the GTK+ widget structure and giving it to
pidgin to display.

There are GTK+ tutorials out there if you want to read them, but there
isn't really anything here for pidgin to have a tutorial about. Your
plugin is simply creating a widget structure and handing it to pidgin to
display it for you.
