Description Murray Cumming 2002-11-13 16:20:30 UTC 
Functions such as
  gtk_widget_reparent()
  gtk_widget_set_parent()
  gtk_widget_get_parent()
  and possible others
use a GtkWidget* type for the parent, but should always be a GtkContainer*.
Using a GtkContainer* type would make the API slightly clearer.
Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2002-11-13 16:24:53 UTC 
Not worth the incompatible API change, even for GTK+-3.0.
Comment 2 Matthew Tuck 2002-11-14 03:47:11 UTC 
Is this the sort of mediocrity the GTK developers have come to accept?
Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2002-11-14 03:57:02 UTC 
Oh the humanity!
