GTK+[1] and TK[2] are organized as one file per widget. There are some 
logical aggregations, thought:  basic widgets from a same family -- 
different kind of buttons  as radio, check, ... -- are grouped in a same 
file. If we take your examples: Color Editing and Color picker Selection 
could go in a same package. As well Layout & co. Panel and accessory 
morphs as the Title Morph will go in its own package.
