Description Sébastien Wilmet 2013-09-08 11:49:42 UTC 
In the section "Migrating from other containers to GtkGrid", one can think that GtkBox will be deprecated and that it is a better idea to use GtkGrid for all container purposes.

The section title is misleading, and the first sentence is:

> GtkGrid is an attempt to write a comprehensive, legacy-free, box-layout
> container that is flexible enough to replace GtkBox, GtkTable and the like.

GtkBox is still a valid use case. It is simpler to use than GtkGrid. GtkBox has features that GtkGrid doesn't have, for example GtkGrid doesn't support nth-child.
