Hi all,

On Fedora 33, derived widgets does not seem to be constructed properly by
Gtk::Builder::get_widget_derived(). The reason I think so is that the
overridden methods are not called for these widgets. Apart from that
everything seems normal. No error message or anything.

I attached a sample code with a very simple case to replicate this problem.
on_button_press_event() is never called for the derived widget.

I have also noticed that if a dummy instance of the derived widget is
created separately (using another constructor) before calling
Gkt::Builder::add_from_string(), then the widget created by Builder also
works normally.

Please note that this may not occur on all distributions. e.g. I know that
it does not occur on Arch Linux.

Does anybody know if this a Fedora 33 specific issue or is it due to a
recent update in Gtkmm that is only affecting Fedora for now?
