TODO BEFORE GTK 1.0
-------------------
Bugs:
* gtk_list_clear_items: free start_list
* GtkComboBox: need to destroy gdk cursor
* Vertical scrollbar: the expose event looks hosed and is causing
quite a bit of flickering
* signal parameters don't seem to get refreshed on recursive invokations
of GTK_NO_RECURSE signals, which causes the restarted emissions to loose
their actual point, i.e. parameter changes on the restarted emission,
needs further investigation.
* the GtkText widget needs to be fixed, that means no segfaults, full editing
facilities, omit the background pixmap for now.
* Widget redrawing when the window resizes sometimes messes up.
GtkLabels sometimes redraw without clearing up the underlying background on
window resizes.
* Are there still some GtkCList changes outstanding? (Jay Painter)
GtkCList is derived from GtkContainer but doesn't implement the
need_resize, focus, add and remove methods from containers.
it should at least issue a warning upon invokation of not supported
member functions.
* GtkTree and GtkList should express in their *_add implementations,
that they expect GtkListItems/GtkTreeItems as children. Similar
things might apply to other containers.
* delay dnd settings to take effect once a widget is realized, this is
to avoid force realizations. i think this goes along with owens dnd
changes?

The way DND data types are set in GtkWidget really needs to be fixed.
This is pretty high on my priority list, and I'll get to it as soon as
the column list widget is done. The correct way dnd data needs to be set
is to have a additional keyed data type with GtkWidget, which is applied to
the widget's window upon realize.
There also needs to be a way to set dnd-data on widget windows which are
not the main window (for widgets that create more than one window).
-Jay Painter
DnD seems to work for me, but yes, there needs to be some sort of
gtk_widget layer that makes it easier... Also, adding support for drop
zones might be nice.
-Elliot
This one is reproducabel for me:
testgtk --sync
popup colorselection
drag/drop works
start up preview color
drag works but not dropping
end preview color
drag/drop works
start up prewiev color
segfault in malloc
-timj
Additions:
* it might be good to ues stdio and getch() instead of 1-character reads.
so one can take advantage of buffering. Currently each read() takes a separate
syscall.
* implement gtk_default_draw_oval
* Lists should scroll to center the recently selected item if it isn't
visible.
* enforce invariants on *_RESIZE* and *_REDRAW* flags.
* asure that child widgets are really get gtk_widget_destroy()ed in their
parents destroy handler, and not just unparented or somesuch.
* GtkToolTips:
allocate GtkTooltipsData from memchunks
look into incorporation of old/gtk-dairiki-971208-[01].patch.gz
* Make widget attributes configurable after the widget is created (timj).
* Change gtk_widget_propagate_default_style() mechanism to
void gtk_rc_string_export (const gchar *rc_additions,
gboolean override_rc_styles);
TODO AFTER GTK 1.0
------------------
* Make all widget attributes configurable after the widget is created (timj).
* Make sure a widget added to a list is a list item and a widget added
to a menu is a menu item, etc. GTK_BASIC was a first attempt at this,
but it fails with subsequent container_add()s. maybe have another
GTK_PARENT_BASIC (similar to GTK_PARENT_SENSITIVE) flag, to prevent
tree iterations upon every container addition.
* gdk_expose_compress: ala-Xt, this would really help for opaque moves and
such
* Entry should have a password mode (and it should show stars
for user feedback).
* More dialogs? Print, GtkFontSelector, maybe others...
* Multiple document interface (MDI)?
* Support another widget style? Should be possible using GtkStyle's, but
there may be some work needed to remove any style dependencies in widget
code. Maybe GtkStyle's should have 'draw_push_button', 'draw_check_button',
etc, functions to draw the various widgets.
This will be covered by upcoming themability, raster is working on it.
* More work on Documentation
