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.

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.
The geometry widget feature of gtk_window_set_geometry_hints() has
never really worked right because the calculation that GTK+ did to
compute the base size of the window only worked when the geometry
widget had a larger minimum size than anything else in the window.
Setup:
* Move the GtkSizeGroup private functions to a new private header
gtksizegroup-private.h
* Add the possibilty to pass flags to _gtk_size_group_queue_resize(),
with the flag GTK_QUEUE_RESIZE_INVALIDATE_ONLY to suppress adding
the widget's toplevel to the resize queue.
* _gtk_container_resize_invalidate() is added to implement that feature
* _gtk_widget_override_size_request()/_gtk_widget_restore_size_request()
allow temporarily forcing a large minimum size on the geometry
widget without creating resize loops.
GtkWindow:
* Compute the extra width/height around the geometry widget
correctly; print a warning if the computation fails.
* Always make the minimum size at least the natural minimum
size of the toplevel; GTK+ now fails badly with underallocation.
* Always set the base size hint; we were failing to set it
properly when the specified minimum size was overriden, but
it's harmless to always set it.
Tests:
* New test 'testgeometry' that replaces the 'gridded geometry' test
from testgtk. The new test is roughly similar but creates a bunch
of windows showing different possibilities.
* The testgtk test is removed. No need to have both.

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".
gtk_widget_get_snapshot is on its way out.
The test can be added back once we have gtk_widget_draw(), but until
then, there's no way to take snapshots.
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.
Rename the gtk_major_version() etc functions I introduced yesterday to
start with gtk_get. Avoids misleading results in client programs whose
developers that don't notice the change or the compiler warnings, and
when recompiling against gtk3 then use the function addresses as the
version numbers.
The keysyms create a lot of potential namespace conflicts for
C, and are especially problematic for introspection, where we take
constants into the namespace, so GDK_Display conflicts with GdkDisplay.
For C application compatiblity, add gdkkeysyms-compat.h which uses
the old names.
Just one user in GTK+ continues to use gdkkeysyms-compat.h, which is
the gtkimcontextsimple.c, since porting that requires porting more
custom Perl code.
