Matthias Clasen 1f4bb70bac Give the GDK docs some love
Reorganize some sections, drop the largely redundant multihead
section, add some more information about multiple backends.

/**
* SECTION:gdkdisplaymanager
* @Short_description: Maintains a list of all open GdkDisplays
* @Title: GdkDisplayManager
*
* The purpose of the #GdkDisplayManager singleton object is to offer
* notification when displays appear or disappear or the default display
* changes.
*
* You can use gdk_display_manager_get() to obtain the GdkDisplayManager
* singleton, but that should be rarely necessary. Typically, initializing
* GTK+ opens a display that you can work with without ever accessing the
* GdkDisplayManager.
*
* The GDK library can be built with support for multiple backends.
* The GdkDisplayManager object determines which backend is used
* at runtime.
*
* When writing backend-specific code that is supposed to work with
* multiple GDK backends, you have to consider both compile time and
* runtime. At compile time, use the #GDK_WINDOWING_X11, #GDK_WINDOWING_WIN32
* macros, etc. to find out which backends are present in the GDK library
* you are building your application against. At runtime, use type-check
* macros like GDK_IS_X11_DISPLAY() to find out which backend is in use:
*
* <example id="backend-specific">
* <title>Backend-specific code</title>
* <programlisting>
* #ifdef GDK_WINDOWING_X11
* if (GDK_IS_X11_DISPLAY (display))
* {
* /&ast; make X11-specific calls here &ast;/
* }
* else
* #endif
* #ifdef GDK_WINDOWING_QUARTZ
* if (GDK_IS_QUARTZ_DISPLAY (display))
* {
* /&ast; make Quartz-specific calls here &ast;/
* }
* else
* #endif
* g_error ("Unsupported GDK backend");
* </programlisting>
* </example>
