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.
