I see how to put a skeletal widget def in:
(def-widget container ()
  ()
  (border-width child resize-mode)
  (add check-resize remove set-focus-child))

I also see that gtk-ffi needs to know what methods to call for the props:
(added to (def-gtk-lib-functions :gtk ...) )

  (gtk-container-set-border-width :void
				  ((container :pointer)
				   (width :unsigned-int)))
  (gtk-container-get-border-width :unsigned-int
				  ((container :pointer)))
  ;; mode is actually an enum
  (gtk-container-set-resize-mode :void
				  ((container :pointer)
				   (mode :unsigned-int)))
  (gtk-container-get-resize-mode :unsigned-int
				  ((container :pointer)))

but how do I add proper infrastructure for the signals?

Also the child property is write-only, and the setter is a 
varargs function.  How do I set that up?

Thanks again,

Matt
