Getting Input from User into Glibmm

How would I properly store user input into a Glib::ustring? std::cin >> input; terminates after the first space, and I must store everything until a newline.

Try cin.getline(input,n), where n is a number of characters, which will be read but it will also stop reading if a '\n' appear in the buffer.

Using this returns the following error, meaning that getline cannot be used with Glib::ustring:

Code:
