<title>Cursors</title>
<description>
<p>
Two tasks: 1) move the cursors in the cursor font that people actually
care about to the top of the gdkcursor.h header file, and put a nice
list of the 15 cursors people actually care about in the docs 2) if
the cursor font lacks some commonly-useful cursors (like magnifying
glass), add these cursors to gdkcursor.h and then emulate them in
gdk_cursor_new by transparently creating the cursor from a bitmap.
The list of Qt cursors is worth http://doc.trolltech.com/qcursor.html
looking at for this task.

<title>Make color handling more convenient</title>
<description>
<p>
Add some color convenience functions; such as a way to get an
allocated GdkColor from GdkRGB, and export functions from gtkstyle.c
that lighten/darken a given color, and set a color from HSV in
addition to RGB. Also, consider having static variables that contain
preallocated common colors (gtk_blue, gtk_red, etc.), the problem
being colormap issues.

<title>Convenient widget setup</title>
<description>
<p>
Make it simpler to set all the basic attributes of a widget. Might
want set_tooltip(), set_accel(), set_color(FOREGROUND, color),
set_min_size() (usize does this, but needs a rename), set_whatsthis(),
etc. set_accel() may not work for all widgets, may need a convenience
API for button and label accelerators specifically.
</p>
<p>
The idea is that it should be easy, out of the box, to set up a widget
with all the nice touches and features the widget really should
have. Users shouldn't need to do their own convenience functions for
this.

<title>Make selections/clipboard more convenient</title>
<description>
<p>
Make GtkSelectionData more like the MIME blobs in Swing and Qt.
Consider a GtkClipboard object to simplify cut-and-paste handling.

<title>Stock label/icon system</title>
<description>
<p>
A system like GnomeStock for getting a standard labels/icons
for menus and toolbars. Should be extensible by themes, and
by libgnomeui. Some work already done on this.

<title>GtkPixbuf</title>
<description>
<p>
gdk-pixbuf is moving to become a GTK+ dependency, a new image-display
widget is thus needed.

<title>Session Management</title>
<description>
<p>
Look in to session management. Consider whether to use
X11R6 SM, or some custom spec shared with KDE. Create
GTK+ API for this.

<title>Online help enhancements</title>
<description>
<p>
Look at a small "What's This" popup widget,
and a What's This system in general (this part
could maybe be done for 1.4). A more difficult, probably
a post-1.4 task, is to integrate a very simple little
help browser gizmo into GTK.

<title>Attempt to fix GtkStatusbar</title>
<description>
<p>
GtkStatusbar is too inconvenient to use.
The only non-breakage-inducing fix we could
come up with is to permit 0 as a context ID, so you
don't have to use gtk_statusbar_get_context_id().

<title>Decruft GtkProgress, GtkProgressbar</title>
<description>
<p>
This interface is just a disaster of overcomplexity;
it should pretty much just be set_percentage(),
pulse() (to move during activity mode), and set_text().
There's no reason that there are two objects, should
just be one interface. Almost all the functions
that currently exist should be deprecated.

<title>Entry validation hooks</title>
<description>
<p>
Simple hooks for validation in a GtkEntry. Pretty much just a
"validate" callback which takes a string (current entry contents) and
returns either VALID, INVALID, or COULDBEVALID. Then the
GtkEntry calls this function if it's set, and does the appropriate
UI things. GTK should come with validators for int and float,
see GtkSpinButton where these are already implemented.

<title>Dock widget</title>
<description>
<p>
Add a widget like GnomeDock (perhaps based on GnomeDock)
that allows people to put rearrangeable toolbars, menubars, etc.
around a central content area. The widget should have hooks for
saving the current positions of the various docked bars.
