Using GList is a bit lame, and makes the API more complicated to use
than necessary in the common case.
The only real use case for a GList is gtk_widget_add_mnemonic_label(),
and for that we can use the GValue-based API instead.
Fixes: #3343
Use a single environment variable for everything:
- select the ATContext implementation
- select the test ATContext
- disable ATContext entirely
We use the same pattern as GSK_RENDERER, GTK_DEBUG, etc.
The documentation needs to be updated to include the environment
variable.
Since we need to check at run time what kind of AT context to use, we
need a hook into the whole GDK backend machinery. The display connection
seems to be the best choice, in this case, as it allows us to determine
whether we're running on an X11 or Wayland system, and thus whether we
should create a GtkAtSpiContext.
This requires some surgery to fix the GtkATContext creation function, in
order to include a GdkDisplay instance.
A radiobutton without indicator is really just a togglebutton with a
group.
A radiobutton with indicator is really just a checkbutton with a group.
Make checkbutton its own widget not inheriting from GtkButton.
GtkRadioButton could be removed but it stays for now.
Radiobutton && !draw-indicator => Togglebutton
Checkbutton && !draw-indicator => Togglebutton
Radiobutton && draw-indicator => CheckButton + group
Set the accessible role for GtkLinkButton to button.
We don't use the 'link' role since ARIA says "if it
behaves like a button, use 'button'".
Update docs and add a test.
This changes should not be neccessary, since
GtkLinkButton derives from GtkButton, see #2965.
Use the label accessible role for GtkLabel. ARIA has some
ominous wording about it going way, but while we have it,
GtkLabel is the obvious candidate for carrying it.
Update the documentation and add a test.
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

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.
