Christian Dywan 46f5ee1d0c Store the buildable name in object data instead of the widget name
Widget names are used for theming which is why GtkBuilder should
use object data.

<!-- ##### SECTION Title ##### -->
GtkBuildable
<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
Interface for objects that can be built by GtkBuilder
<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
In order to allow construction from a <link linkend="BUILDER-UI">GtkBuilder
UI description</link>, an object class must implement the
GtkBuildable interface. The interface includes methods for setting
names and properties of objects, parsing custom tags, constructing
child objects.
</para>
<para>
The GtkBuildable interface is implemented by all widgets and
many of the non-widget objects that are provided by GTK+. The
main user of this interface is #GtkBuilder, there should be
very little need for applications to call any
<function>gtk_buildable_...</function> functions.

<para>
The GtkBuildableIface interface contains method that are
necessary to allow #GtkBuilder to construct an object from
a GtkBuilder UI definition.
</para>
@g_iface: the parent class
@set_name: Stores the name attribute given in the GtkBuilder UI definition.
#GtkWidget stores the name as object data. Implement this method if your
object has some notion of "name" and it makes sense to map the XML name
attribute to it.
@get_name: The getter corresponding to @set_name. Implement this
if you implement @set_name.
@add_child: Adds a child. The @type parameter can be used to
differentiate the kind of child. #GtkContainer implements this
to add add a child widget to the container, #GtkNotebook uses
the @type to distinguish between page labels (of type "page-label")
and normal children.
@set_buildable_property: Sets a property of a buildable object.
It is normally not necessary to implement this, g_object_set_property()
is used by default. #GtkWindow implements this to delay showing itself
(i.e. setting the #GtkWidget:visible property) until the whole interface
is created.
@construct_child: Constructs a child of a buildable that has been
specified as "constructor" in the UI definition. #GtkUIManager implements
this to reference to a widget created in a &lt;ui&gt; tag which is outside
of the normal GtkBuilder UI definition hierarchy. A reference to the
constructed object is returned and becomes owned by the caller.
@custom_tag_start: Implement this if the buildable needs to parse
content below &lt;child&gt;. To handle an element, the implementation
must fill in the @parser structure and @user_data and return %TRUE.
#GtkWidget implements this to parse keyboard accelerators specified
in &lt;accelerator&gt; elements. #GtkContainer implements it to map
properties defined via &lt;packing&gt; elements to child properties.
Note that @user_data must be freed in @custom_tag_end or @custom_finished.
@custom_tag_end: Called for the end tag of each custom element that is
handled by the buildable (see @custom_tag_start).
@custom_finished: Called for each custom tag handled by the buildable
when the builder finishes parsing (see @custom_tag_start)
@parser_finished: Called when a builder finishes the parsing
of a UI definition. It is normally not necessary to implement this,
unless you need to perform special cleanup actions. #GtkWindow sets
the #GtkWidget:visible property here.
@get_internal_child: Returns an internal child of a buildable.
#GtkDialog implements this to give access to its @vbox, making
it possible to add children to the vbox in a UI definition.
Implement this if the buildable has internal children that may
need to be accessed from a UI definition.
