Description Havoc Pennington 2001-08-14 23:05:33 UTC 
From: Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>

can you please file a bug report about GtkFrame::shadow being one name
for GTK_TYPE_SHADOW_TYPE settings and GtkScrolledWindow::shadow_type
(and GtkCList::shadow_type) being the other variant.
GtkFrame::shadow predates pretty much everything, but since more
widgets seem to use ::shadow_type, we should probably make
GtkFrame::shadow a deprecated alias.
Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2001-08-25 04:02:13 UTC 
The count here is 7 shadow_type to 2 shadow.

But how do we do deprecated aliases? There has been
persistant objections to adding a non-buildable or
deprecated flag to GtkParamSpec...
Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2001-09-10 19:06:30 UTC 
Fixed more or less by putting "Deprecating property, use ..."
in the blurb. 

This is a lousy way to do property deprecation, and will require
special-casing in Glade (which Glade already needs anyways
because we don't have the obvious BUILDABLE paramspec flag
either.)

However, it will do for now. More standard flags can be
added for 2.2.
