In 99.9% of all cases, these are just NULL, NULL.
So just do away with these arguments, people can
use the setters for the rare cases where they want
the scrolled window to use a different adjustment.
Due to the many different ways to set factories, it makes sense to
expose them as custom objects.
This makes the actual APIs for the list widgets simpler, because they
can just have a regular "factory" property.
As a convenience function, gtk_list_view_new_with_factory() was added
to make this whole approach easy to use from C.
We now don't let the functions create widgets for the item from the
listmodel, instead we hand out a GtkListItem for them to add a widget
to.
GtkListItems are created in advance and can only be filled in by the
binding code by gtk_container_add()ing a widget.
However, they are GObjects, so they can provide properties that the
binding code can make use of - either via notify signals or GBinding.
This is mostly for dealing with proper anchoring and can be used to
check that things don't scroll or that selection and focus handling
properly works.
For comparison purposes, a ListBox is provided next to it.
