This signal does not work on native file choosers,
and it exposes internals of the widget that should
not be public. And it is just not very interesting.

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.
This api has not really been kept up with current
user experiences in popups, and we're better off
just dropping it and letting people do their own
popups if they need custom UI.
Juneteenth (a portmanteau of June and nineteenth)[2] (also known as
Freedom Day,[3] Jubilee Day,[4] and Liberation Day,[5]) is an unofficial
American holiday celebrated annually on the 19th of June in the United
States.

The tooltip handling in GtkWidget is "special":
- the string is stored inside the qdata instead of the private
instance data
- the accessors call g_object_set() and g_object_get(), and the
logic is all inside the property implementation, instead of
being the other way around
- the getters return a copy of the string
- the setters don't really notify all the involved properties
The GtkWidgetAccessible uses the (escaped) tooltip text as a source for
the accessible object description, which means it has to store the
tooltip inside the object qdata, and update its copy at construction and
property notification time.
We can simplify this whole circus by making the tooltip properties (text
and markup) more idiomatic:
- notify all side-effect properties
- return a constant string from the getter
- if tooltip-text is set:
- store the text as is
- escape the markup and store it separately for the markup getter
- if tooltip-markup is set:
- store the markup as is
- parse the markup and store it separately for the text getter
The part of the testtooltips interactive test that checks that the
getters are doing the right thing is now part of the gtk testsuite, so
we ensure we don't regress in behaviour.
This splits GtkListItem into 2 parts:
1. GtkListItem
This is purely a GObject with public API for developers who want to
populate lists. There is no chance to cause conflict with GtkWidget
properties that the list implementation assumed control over and
defines a clear boundary.
2. GtkListItemWidget
The widget part of the listitem. This is not only fully in control of
the list machinery, the machinery can also use different widget
implementations for different list widgets like I inted to for
GtkColumnView.
This is a container widget that takes over all the duties of tree
expanding and collapsing.
It has to be a container so it can capture keybindings while focus is
inside the listitem.
So far, this widget does not allow interacting with it, but it shows the
expander arrow in its correct state.
Also, testlistview uses this widget now instead of implementing
expanding itself.
Due to the many different ways to set factories, it makes sense to
expose them as custom objects.
This makes the actual APIs for the list widgets simpler, because they
can just have a regular "factory" property.
As a convenience function, gtk_list_view_new_with_factory() was added
to make this whole approach easy to use from C.
Previously, we were recreating all widgets every time the list item was
rebound, which caused a lot of extra work every time we scrolled.
Now we keep the widgets around and only set their properties again when
the item changes.
We now don't let the functions create widgets for the item from the
listmodel, instead we hand out a GtkListItem for them to add a widget
to.
GtkListItems are created in advance and can only be filled in by the
binding code by gtk_container_add()ing a widget.
However, they are GObjects, so they can provide properties that the
binding code can make use of - either via notify signals or GBinding.
This is mostly for dealing with proper anchoring and can be used to
check that things don't scroll or that selection and focus handling
properly works.
For comparison purposes, a ListBox is provided next to it.
The thing we're actually doing is create and maintain a widget for every
row. That's it.
Also add a testcase using this. The testcase quickly allocates too many
rows though and then becomes unresponsive though. You have been warned.
