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.

It is just too annoying to have to implement these properties in
every scrollable. Instead, we now have ::min-content-height/width
in GtkScrolledWindow.
We also add GtkScrollablePolicy to determine how to size the
scrollable content.
The GtkScrollable interface provides "hadjustment" and "vadjustment"
properties that are used by GtkScrolledWindow. It replaces
the ::set_scroll_adjustment signal. The scrollable interface
also has ::min-display-width/height properties that can be
used to control the minimally visible part inside a scrolled window.
Use input-only windows for capturing input, and just draw onto
the parent window. This allows themes to make entries with rounded
corners. Patch by Boram Park.

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.
We remove the resize grip from GtkStatusbar, but keep the code
that makes the content avoid the grip, and adapt it to GtkWindow
grips.
The gtk_status_bar_set/get_has_resize_grip() functions and related
properties are removed.
Allow any window to display a resize grip, in the south-east or
south-west corner, depending on text direction. This is implemented
as a shaped window that gets overlayed on top of whatever content
is there. We add api that allows widgets to avoid the resize grip,
if desired.
The ::has-resize-grip property controls if a window may display
a resize grip. It will only be displayed if the window is resizable
and not maximized.
The size and visual appearance of the resize grip is under theme
control, using the resize-grip-width/height style properties and
the paint_resize_grip style function.
It turns out that the previous handling of just providing a way to set
visuals just on toplevels was not sufficient. In particular it
complicated the various implementations of the tray icon specification.
This patch reintroduces gtk_widget_set_visual() which behaves very
similar to GTK2's gtk_widget_set_colormap().
A future commit will remove the gtk_window_set_visual() function.
The function reverses the transform that GTK does before emitting a draw
event. So we can use it in "old" widgets to revert the coordinate system
properly.
It doesn't make sense to keep them separate as GtkSizeRequest requires a
GtkWidget and GtkWidget implements GtkSizeRequest, so you can never have
one without the other.
It also makes the code a lot easier because no casts are required when
calling functions.
Also, the names would translate to gtk_widget_get_width() and people
agreed that this would be a too generic name, so a "preferred" was added
to the names.
So this patch moves the functions:
gtk_size_request_get_request_mode() => gtk_widget_get_request_mode()
gtk_size_request_get_width() => gtk_widget_get_preferred_width()
gtk_size_request_get_height() => gtk_widget_get_preferred_height()
gtk_size_request_get_size() => gtk_widget_get_preferred_size()
gtk_size_request_get_width_for_height() =>
gtk_widget_get_preferred_width_for_height()
gtk_size_request_get_height_for_width() =>
gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width()
... and moves the corresponding vfuncs to the GtkWidgetClass.
The patch also renames the implementations of the vfuncs in widgets to
include the word "preferrred".
The functions are gtk_widget_get_allocated_width() and
gtk_widget_get_allocated_height().
They are currently identical to using width/height of
gtk_widget_get_allocation(), but are introduced for ease of use (no need
to use a custom struct) and to free people from having to think about
allocation.x and allocation.y (which is where the origin of the cairo
context in GtkWidget::draw is located).
This removes:
gtk_widget_set_default_colormap()
gtk_widget_get_default_colormap()
gtk_widget_get_default_visual()
Colormaps are gone, and the default visual is the system visual of the
default screen.
Add gtk_window_set_visual() and a "visual" property. This allows
changing the window visual to the rgba one and other awesome things
(like implementing the trayicon spec).
Replace gtk_widget_shape_combine_region() with
gtk_widget_shape_combine_mask() and
gtk_widget_input_shape_combine_region() with
gtk_widget_input_shape_combine_mask().
As GdkBitmap is going away, and the region equivalents already exist,
this seems like pretty much the default step to take.
Includes code to fix up the users.
Dealing with bare pointers is problematic for language bindings,
using interned strings is much more straightforward and more than
good enough for what is needed here.

With gtk_show_uri, global configurability of link activation has
moved to GIO/gvfs. For local overrides, GtkLinkButton has the ::clicked
signal, and GtkAboutDialog gets an ::activate-link signal.
Bug 339745
With the demise of GtkList and GtkTree, it has GtkMenuItem as sole
derived class, and is not really adding any value as a separate class.
Its few useful features have been merged into GtkMenuItem.
Bug 629104
Rename the ::orientation property of GtkIconView to item-orientation,
which is both clearer and avoids the conflict with the orientation
property of GtkOrientable implementations.
The :license-type property of GtkAboutDialog allows using a symbolic
enumeration value that will construct a placeholder license preamble
linking to a specific URL. This allows localization of the licensing
text without using a translation of the actual license, since it would
not be valid.
Bug 336225.
The entire api was deprecated since 2.0. This patch detangles
GtkProgress from GtkProgressBar and moves all the pieces into
GtkProgressBar that are required for non-deprecated progressbar
functionality.
Bug #620618
This is a work in progress to stub out an application class. The
primary goal is to provide a mechanism for applications to export
GtkActions, and there is a standard "Quit" action.
This is based on GApplication.
Future work:
* Add a way to say "This is my application menubar", which gets
put into all toplevel windows on non-OS-X, and into the top
on OS X.
* Support session management.
* Support application settings.

- Add gtk_assistant_commit()
This function discards the visited pages list so the back button is not
shown on the current page, and removes the cancel button from subsequent
pages. Use this when information provided thus far cannot be revisited.
- Don't show the Forward button on a GTK_ASSISTANT_PAGE_PROGRESS if it's
the last page (according to the forward page function).
- Append a progress page to the GtkAssistant demo.
Use ::keynav-failed for arrow navigation in icon views, so that
it is possible to override error handling. Also add API to get the
row/col of an item. With this, it is possible to make arrow keynav
span adjacent icon views, which is desired in the new control-center
shell. testiconview-keynav demonstrates this.
This commit adds constructors for GtkPaned, GtkBox, GtkButtonBox,
GtkRuler, GtkScale, GtkScrollbar and GtkSeparator and makes these
types instantiable.
* Due to object ownership issues it is impossible to correctly use
get_group/set_group from a GI binding
* join_group is safer because at the binding level it works with individual
GtkRadioAction objects and not with the list of objects that gets
modified in the library
