The need of a specialised fixed layout container that can be placed into
a GtkScrolledWindow ceased to exist once GtkScrolledWindow gained the
ability to automatically interpose a GtkViewport when adding a child
that does not implement GtkScrollable.
All the other justifications that led to the existence of GtkLayout as a
separate widget from GtkFixed have been largely made irrelevant in the
20 years since its inception.
This is a very old X session management thing, and you
will be hard-pressed to find a session manager that can
make use of it, and even harder-pressed to find apps
using it to their advantage.
...and the setter/getter for it.

Layout managers needs a way to store properties that control the layout
policy of a widget; typically, we used to store these in GtkContainer's
child properties, but since GtkLayoutManager is decoupled from the
actual container widget, we need a separate storage. Additionally, child
properties have their own downsides, like requiring a separate, global
GParamSpecPool storage, and additional lookup API.
GtkLayoutChild is a simple GObject class, which means you can introspect
and document it as you would any other type.
We delegate the size request mode, the measuring, and the allocation of
a widget through a GtkLayoutManager instance, if one has been attached
to the widget; otherwise, we fall back to the widget's own implementation.
A base abstract class for layout manager delegate objects.
Layout managers are associated to a single widget, like event
controllers, and are responsible for measuring and allocating the
children of the widget they are bound to.
Add a ::show-peek-icon property and show a clickable
icon when it is set. Clicking it toggles the visibility
of the content. The same functionality is also accessible
via a context menu item.
This is a common feature of password entries.
In particular, add a per-category querying API for the matrix:
- gsk_transform_to_translate()
- gsk_transform_to_affine()
- gsk_transform_to_2d()
- gsk_transform_to_matrix()
This way, code can use the relevant one for the given category.
Change gdk_surface_get/set_user_data to private
API and rename them to get/set_widget.
Also remove an unused associated function.
The last two places where the surface API is used
are in gtkroot.c and gtkwidget.c. Make them
use the private api.
This is a first cut at updating the drawing model chapter
for the way we do things now. It introduces the scene graph and
render nodes, explains node caching and tree diffing, and removes
sections about subwindows.
