Yes, that was what I was thinking.  What I will do, is remove all references
to fComponent and replace them with a reference to Handle.  That way in
GTKInterface we can access handle instead of fcomponent.  I think that'll
work just fine.....

Excellent.  I am going to look into getting everything working off the
WNDPROC now.  TControl has a WNDPROC and I'm in the middle of writing
TWinControl's so hopefully I can get the GTK callback's to call the WNDPROC.
