Description Steve Chaplin 2005-06-28 11:47:23 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
gtk.MessageDialog exposes the 'image' and 'label' widgets which are private
attributes which are not intended to be made public.
In the past it was useful to have access to them because it allowed you to 
change the image and label (message) displayed in the MessageDialog.
But with GTK+ 2.6 we now have
        MessageDialog.set_markup ()             
        MessageDialog.format_secondary_markup ()
which let you change the label/message, and
        MessageDialog.set_property ('message-type', msg_type) 
which lets you change the image.

So I don't think that access to the private attributes 'image' and 'label' is
needed anymore and they should be removed (or deprecated).


Steps to reproduce:

Does this happen every time?

Access to these attributes should be deprecated, but they can't be removed due
to API compatibility issues.
Comment 2 Gian Mario Tagliaretti 2009-02-22 21:22:08 UTC 
I've added deprecation warnings accessing those fields, since gtk+-2.14 we also have set_image, so I've added that one in the deprecation text.
