I don't think inheriting from gstbase base classes is possible yet 
(because these base classes haven't been wrapped yet), but it is one of 
the things that is planned to make possible in the near future.  There 
are a few things that we are trying to complete before we focus on this 
completely (like a generic c++ iterator based on the GstIterator) but we 
are definitely planning to wrap these base classes (both the core and 
base ones) if it is something that will be useful.  Stay informed on the 
gtkmm list and feel free to ask questions there.

CCing the gtkmm list.
