Yes, my fault, Gdk::CONTROL_MOD is correct.

It's not a good idea to trick around SourceWrite since it was designed 
to catch all the 'do we have to output a semicolon here?' 'do we need a 
new line here' 'how many spaces to indent' problems.

SourceWriter/testCxxFile.cc should be a good tutorial. And yes, there is 
a FunctionArgsEnd() function missing if you nest function calls.
