To build a better world sometimes means having to tear the old one down.
-- Alexander Pierce, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier"
ATK served us well for nearly 20 years, but the world has changed, and
GTK has changed with it. Now ATK is mostly a hindrance towards improving
the accessibility stack:
- it maps to a very specific implementation, AT-SPI, which is Linux and
Unix specific
- it requires implementing the same functionality in three different
layers of the stack: AT-SPI, ATK, and GTK
- only GTK uses it; every other Linux and Unix toolkit and application
talks to AT-SPI directly, including assistive technologies
Sadly, we cannot incrementally port GTK to a new accessibility stack;
since ATK insulates us entirely from the underlying implementation, we
cannot replace it piecemeal. Instead, we're going to remove everything
and then incrementally build on a clean slate:
- add an "accessible" interface, implemented by GTK objects directly,
which describe the accessible role and state changes for every UI
element
- add an "assistive technology context" to proxy a native accessibility
API, and assign it to every widget
- implement the AT context depending on the platform

After the :can-focus change in the previous commit, widgets
need to set suitable focus and grab_focus implementations
to implement the desired focus behavior.
This commit does that for all widgets.
Similar to previous removals of g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__VOID we can remove
other marshallers for which are a simple G_TYPE_NONE with single parameter.
In those cases, GLib will setup both a c_marshaller and va_marshaller for
us. Before this commit, we would not get a va_marshaller because the
c_marshaller is set.
Related to GNOME/Initiatives#10
If we set c_marshaller manually, then g_signal_newv() will not setup a
va_marshaller for us. However, if we provide c_marshaller as NULL, it will
setup both the c_marshaller (to g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__VOID) and
va_marshaller (to g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__VOIDv) for us.
Change the reorder api to insert after a sibling,
so that moving to first place becomes reorder (... NULL).
And add a insert_after api that can replace the common
container_add / reorder_after (... NULL) combination.
Update all callers.
Currently, gtk_event_controller_scroll_handle_event() always returns
TRUE if it is handled, which stops the propagation of the event. If
there’s a single GtkEventControllerScroll in the widget hierarchy, that
means that no others will run, depending on the propagation phase. In
Nautilus, this can be observed when adding a scroll controller to the
GtkScrolledWindow (ctrl-scrolling controls the zoom level) - either the
scrolling or the zooming breaks.

The previous type was a pointer to a pointer, which seems to be a copy-paste
error from GtkBuildable.custom_tag_start which is an out parameter. It was
always cast in use so this is an API break, but not an ABI one.
This renames the GdkWindow class and related classes (impl, backend
subclasses) to surface. Additionally it renames related types:
GdkWindowAttr, GdkWindowPaint, GdkWindowWindowClass, GdkWindowType,
GdkWindowTypeHint, GdkWindowHints, GdkWindowState, GdkWindowEdge
This is an automatic conversion using the below commands:
git sed -f g GdkWindowWindowClass GdkSurfaceSurfaceClass
git sed -f g GdkWindow GdkSurface
git sed -f g "gdk_window\([ _\(\),;]\|$\)" "gdk_surface\1" # Avoid hitting gdk_windowing
git sed -f g "GDK_WINDOW\([ _\(]\|$\)" "GDK_SURFACE\1" # Avoid hitting GDK_WINDOWING
git sed "GDK_\([A-Z]*\)IS_WINDOW\([_ (]\|$\)" "GDK_\1IS_SURFACE\2"
git sed GDK_TYPE_WINDOW GDK_TYPE_SURFACE
git sed -f g GdkPointerWindowInfo GdkPointerSurfaceInfo
git sed -f g "BROADWAY_WINDOW" "BROADWAY_SURFACE"
git sed -f g "broadway_window" "broadway_surface"
git sed -f g "BroadwayWindow" "BroadwaySurface"
