To show widget in Designer you need add [System.ComponentModel.ToolboxItem
(true)] attribute on widget class like here
https://github.com/QualitySolution/GammaBinding/blob/master/GammaBinding/GtkWidgets/yEntry.cs
After compile it will add to widget right panel. If it not happens, you can
add widget on panel manually by click on plus button and select you assembly
with widget.

So that the widget can be added intro any container widget like HBox, widget
should be inherited from Gtk.Widget class.
http://docs.go-mono.com/?link=T%3aGtk.Widget

Don't exist any Custom Widget class. When you create Custom Widget designer
create your custom class inherited from Gtk.Bin. You can also create your
class manually without designer.
