It is really bad code, mostly unused and no one stepped up to fix it.
Note that Gtk developers do not object to a ruler widget in priciple,
just to the current implementation. If someone wants to propose a sane
version, please don't hesitate.

GtkComboBox now sports a construct-only "has-entry" property which
decides if it uses a GtkEntry to allow additional user input. Also
it has a new "entry-text-column" to fetch strings for the entry
from the model.
This patch deprecates the GtkComboBoxEntry and updates the rest of GTK+
to use the new semantics on GtkComboBox instead.
GtkComboBoxEntry will be removed altogether before GTK+ 3, in a
later commit.
The geometry widget feature of gtk_window_set_geometry_hints() has
never really worked right because the calculation that GTK+ did to
compute the base size of the window only worked when the geometry
widget had a larger minimum size than anything else in the window.
Setup:
* Move the GtkSizeGroup private functions to a new private header
gtksizegroup-private.h
* Add the possibilty to pass flags to _gtk_size_group_queue_resize(),
with the flag GTK_QUEUE_RESIZE_INVALIDATE_ONLY to suppress adding
the widget's toplevel to the resize queue.
* _gtk_container_resize_invalidate() is added to implement that feature
* _gtk_widget_override_size_request()/_gtk_widget_restore_size_request()
allow temporarily forcing a large minimum size on the geometry
widget without creating resize loops.
GtkWindow:
* Compute the extra width/height around the geometry widget
correctly; print a warning if the computation fails.
* Always make the minimum size at least the natural minimum
size of the toplevel; GTK+ now fails badly with underallocation.
* Always set the base size hint; we were failing to set it
properly when the specified minimum size was overriden, but
it's harmless to always set it.
Tests:
* New test 'testgeometry' that replaces the 'gridded geometry' test
from testgtk. The new test is roughly similar but creates a bunch
of windows showing different possibilities.
* The testgtk test is removed. No need to have both.
