These tests are a bit fragile because the initial focus
that is taken depends on what ends up in the center of
the window, horizontally or vertically, which depends
on things like fonts, or theme spacing.
This commit makes some tweaks to push things in the
widget-factory example around far enough to make the
tests work again.
We should figure out a way to make this more robust.
This is rarely what you want, so lets turn it off
by default.
Update the one place in our demos where we want to
draw a value, add support for this to gtk-builder-tool,
add a test and mention this change in the migration
guide.
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

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
