Oh, that's kind of weird.

For consistency with aspx and xaml I would expect:
MainWindow.gtkx
    MainWindow.gtkx.cs
    MainWindow.gtkx.designer.cs

I must admit I don't like the "combined" view because it makes
save/dirty/undo/outline/diff/blame etc. behave a little strangely...
IMO it makes a lot more sense for subviews to be views of the same
single physical file.
