Add ShellGenericContainer, which makes it possible to write containers in JS (12.13 KB, patch)

Description Colin Walters 2009-08-04 20:12:14 UTC 
Subclass ClutterGroup (to avoid having to implement all of dispose,
raise, lower, add, etc.), and have it proxy the allocation requests
out into signals.  We have to group up the two out parameters
into a struct unfortunately.

Included example code in the C file source for now.

gslice!

Looks good. Presumably it can be extended with more signals in the future for additional functionality?

Yep, should be straightforward to add more.  Thanks for review!
