Both HildonAppView and GtkViewPort are GtkBins (able to hold only one
child), so you need to have some additional container for multiple
widgets anyway, it's just a matter of having the viewport in between
made by you or automatically.

I would guess that the application you are porting puts more than one
widget in the viewport so it probabl already has a suitable "toplevel"
container (most likely either a VBox or a HBox) that you can pack into
the appview instead of the viewport.
