 * @arg xid {String}  (optional) id for registry
 * @arg xns {String|Object}   (optional) namespace eg. Gtk or 'Gtk' - used with xtype.
 * @arg items {Array}   (optional) list of child elements which will be constructed.. using XObject
 * @arg listeners {Object}   (optional) map Gobject signals to functions
 * @arg pack {Function|String|Array}   (optional) how this object gets added to it's parent
 * @arg el {Object}   (optional) premade GObject
