Before, gtk_drag_icon_new_for_drag() allowed creating new drag icons.
This could cause multiple drag icons to exist for a single drag.
Now, gtk_drag_icon_get_for_drag() makes sure that only one drag icon is
created.
This is a huge reorganization of GtkDropTarget. I did not know how to
split this up, so it's unfortunately all one commit.
Highlights:
- Split GtkDropTarget into GtkDropTarget and GtkDropTargetAsync
GtkDropTarget is the simple one that only works with GTypes and offers
a synchronous interface.
GtkDropTargetAsync retains the full old functionality and allows
handling mime types.
- Drop events are handled differently
Instead of picking a single drop target and sending all DND events to
it, every event is sent to every drop target. The first one to handle
the event gets to call gdk_drop_status(), further handlers do not
interact with the GdkDrop.
Of course, for the ultimate GDK_DROP_STARTING event, only the first
one to accept the drop gets to handle it.
This allows stacking DND event controllers that aren't necessarily
interested in handling the event or that might decide later to drop
it.
- Port all widgets to either of those
Both have a somewhat changed API due to the new event handling.
For the ones who should use the sync version, lots of cleanup was
involved to operate on a sync API.
It is enough to just set the parent (and make the parent
call gtk_native_check_resize in size_allocate).
This commit removes the relative_to argument to the
constructors of GtkPopover and GtkPopoverMenu, and
updates all callers.
replace all uses with const char * (non-interned).
Also remove a lot fo juggling from atom to GdkAtom to string and back.
The X Atom hash table is now mapping to (again, non-interned) strings.
The preview widget harks from a platform before time, when we didn't
have GIO, or a thumbnail specification.
Very few applications use it correctly, if at all; it has an horrid hack
to deal with the ownership of the widget's instance when accessed
through the getter function; it messes up the layout of the widget and
its label is less than useful when it comes to file names longer than a
dozen characters; it's a poor substitute for a proper thumbnail view.
GtkFileChooser's API predates GIO by a few years, so it started off with
filenames and URI as character arrays. After introducing GIO as a
dependency, the API included GFile-based entry points.
It's much more appropriate to use GFile everywhere, as we want to
encourage people to use GIO instead of passing random bytes to low level
POSIX API.

Replace the gdk_surface_move_to_rect() API with a new GdkSurface
method called gdk_surface_present_popup() taking a new GdkPopupLayout
object describing how they should be laid out on screen.
The layout properties provided are the same as the ones used with
gdk_surface_move_to_rect(), except they are now set up using
GdkPopupLayout.
Calling gdk_surface_present_popup() will either show the popup at the
position described using the popup layout object and a new unconstrained
size, or reposition it accordingly.
In some situations, such as when a popup is set to autohide, presenting
may immediately fail, in case the grab was not granted by the display
server.
After a successful present, the result of the layout can be queried
using the following methods:
* gdk_surface_get_position() - to get the position relative to its
parent
* gdk_surface_get_width() - to get the current width
* gdk_surface_get_height() - to get the current height
* gdk_surface_get_rect_anchor() - to get the anchor point on the anchor
rectangle the popup was effectively positioned against given
constraints defined by the environment and the layout rules provided
via GdkPopupLayout.
* gdk_surface_get_surface_anchor() - the same as the one above but for
the surface anchor.
A new signal replaces the old "moved-to-rect" one -
"popup-layout-changed". However, it is only intended to be emitted when
the layout changes implicitly by the windowing system, for example if
the monitor resolution changed, or the parent window moved.
