+GTK+ changed fairly substantially from version 1.2 to 2.0, much more
+so than from 1.0 to 1.2. Subsequent updates (possibilities are 2.0 to
+2.2, 2.2 to 2.4, then to 3.0) will almost certainly be much, much
+smaller. Nonetheless, most programs written for 1.2 compile against
+2.0 with few changes. The bulk of changes listed below are to obscure
+features or very specialized features, and compatibility interfaces
+exist whenever possible.

+gtk_container_get_toplevels() was removed and replaced with

+GDK no longer selects OwnerGrabButtonMask for button presses. This means

+The type macros GTK_TYPE_MAKE() and GTK_TYPE_SEQNO() vanished, use of

+ type ids based on a global incremental sequential number anymore, but
+ numbers new type ids sequentially per fundamental type branch.

+Object system changes:
+ GtkObject derives from GObject, so is not the basic object type anymore.
+ This imposes the following source incompatible changes:
+<itemizedlist>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>
+GtkObject has no klass field anymore, an object's class can be retrived
+ with the object's coresponding GTK_&lt;OBJECT&gt;_GET_CLASS (object)
+ macro.
+</para>
+</listitem>
+<listitem>
+<para>
+GtkObjectClass has no type field anymore, a class's type can be retrived
+ with the GTK_CLASS_TYPE (class) macro.
+</para>
+</listitem>
+<listitem>
+<para>
+GtkObjectClass does not introduce the finalize() and shutdown() methods
+ anymore. While shutdown() is intended for GTK+ internal use only, finalize()
+ is required by a variety of object implementations. GObjectClass.finalize
+ should be overriden here, e.g.:
+<programlisting>
+ static void gtk_label_finalize (GObject *gobject)
+ {
+ GtkLabel *label = GTK_LABEL (gobject);
+
+ G_OBJECT_CLASS (parent_class)-&gt;finalize (object);
+ }
+ static void gtk_label_class_init (GtkLabelClass *class)
+ {
+ GObjectClass *gobject_class = G_OBJECT_CLASS (class);
+
+ gobject_class-&gt;finalize = gtk_label_finalize;
+ }
+</programlisting>
+</para>
+</listitem>
+
+</itemizedlist>
+</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>
+The GtkObject::destroy signal can now be emitted multiple times on an object.
+ ::destroy implementations should check that make sure that they take this
+ into account, by checking to make sure that resources are there before
+ freeing them. For example:
+<programlisting>
+ if (object-&gt;foo_data)
+ {
+ g_free (object-&gt;foo_data);
+ object-&gt;foo_data = NULL;
+ }
+</programlisting>
+
+ Also, ::destroy implementations have to release object references that
+ the object holds. Code in finalize implementations such as:
+<programlisting>
+ if (object-&gt;adjustment)
+ {
+ gtk_object_unref (object-&gt;adjustment);
+ object-&gt;adjustment = NULL;
+ }
+</programlisting>
+ have to be moved into the ::destroy implementations. The reason for doing
+ this is that all object reference cycles should be broken at destruction
+ time.
+
+ Because the ::destroy signal can be emitted multiple times, it no longer
+ makes sense to check if a widget has been destroyed using the
+ GTK_OBJECT_DESTROYED() macro, and this macro has been removed. If
+ catching destruction is still needed, it can be done with a signal
+ connection to ::destroy.
+</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>
+Signal system changes:
+ The Gtk 2.0 signal merly proxies the GSignal system now.
+ For future usage, direct use of the GSignal API is recommended,
+ this avoids significant performance hits where GtkArg structures
+ have to be converted into GValues. For language bindings,
+ GSignal+GClosure provide a much more flexible and convenient
+ mechanism to hook into signal emissions or install class default
+ handlers, so the old GtkSignal API for language bindings is not
+ supported anymore.
+</para>
+<para>
+ Functions that got removed in the Gtk signal API:
+ gtk_signal_n_emissions(), gtk_signal_n_emissions_by_name(),
+ gtk_signal_set_funcs(), gtk_signal_handler_pending_by_id(),
+ gtk_signal_add_emission_hook(), gtk_signal_add_emission_hook_full(),
+ gtk_signal_remove_emission_hook(), gtk_signal_query().
+ Also, the GtkCallbackMarshal argument to gtk_signal_connect_full() is
+ not supported anymore.
+ For many of the removed functions, similar variants are available
+ in the g_signal_* namespace.
+ The GSignal system perfomrs emissions in a slightly different manner than
+ the old GtkSignal code. Signal handlers that are connected to signal "foo"
+ on object "bar" while "foo" is being emitted, will not be called anymore
+ during the emission they were connected within.

+Inserting and deleting text in GtkEntry though functions such

+
+<listitem>

+The -&gt;label field of GtkFrame widgets has been removed. (As part of

+A number of types in GDK have become subclasses of GObject. For the
+ most part, this should not break anyone's code. However, it's now
+ possible/encouraged to use g_object_ref()/g_object_unref() and other
+ GObject features with these GDK types. The converted types are:

+All drawables including pixmaps used to have a type tag, the
+ GdkWindowType enumeration, which included GDK_WINDOW_PIXMAP.
+ GdkWindowType is now a property of GdkWindow
+ <emphasis>only</emphasis>, and there is no GDK_WINDOW_PIXMAP. You

+ you need to know that.

+xthickness/ythickness have moved from GtkStyleClass to GtkStyle

+ same for ythickness.

+gdk_pixmap_foreign_new() no longer calls XFreePixmap() on the

+ This was a big wart on GTK and made people waste lots of time,
+ both learning and using the interface.
+ So, we have added what we feel is the correct API, and marked all the
+ rest deprecated. However, the changes are 100% backward-compatible and
+ should break no existing code.
+ The following 5 functions are the new programming interface and you
+ should consider changing your code to use them:
+<programlisting>
+ void gtk_progress_bar_pulse (GtkProgressBar *pbar);
+ void gtk_progress_bar_set_text (GtkProgressBar *pbar,
+ const gchar *text);
+ void gtk_progress_bar_set_fraction (GtkProgressBar *pbar,
+ gfloat fraction);

+ void gtk_progress_bar_set_pulse_step (GtkProgressBar *pbar,

+GtkMenuPositionFunc has a new parameter push_in which controls how

+The "draw" signal and virtual method on GtkWidget has been removed.
+ All drawing should now occur by invalidating a region of the widget
+ (call gdk_window_invalidate_rect() or gtk_widget_queue_draw() for
+ example to invalidate a region). GTK+ merges all invalid regions,
+ and sends expose events to the widget in an idle handler for the
+ invalid regions. gtk_widget_draw() is deprecated but still works; it
+ adds the passed-in area to the invalid region and immediately sends
+ expose events for the current invalid region.
+ Most widgets will work fine if you just delete their "draw"
+ implementation, since they will already have working expose_event
+ implementations. The draw method was rarely called in practice
+ anyway.
+</para>

+<para>
+Sending synthetic exposes using gtk_widget_event is no longer allowed.
+ If you just need an expose call you should use gdk_window_invalidate_rect()
+ or gdk_window_invalidate_region() instead. For the case of container
+ widgets that need to propagate expose events to NO_WINDOW children
+ you can either use gtk_container_propagate_expose(), or chain to the
+ default container expose handler.
+</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>
+The draw_default and draw_focus methods/signals on GtkWidget are
+ gone; simply draw things in your expose handler.
+ gtk_widget_draw_focus() and gtk_widget_draw_default() wrapper
+ functions are also gone; just queue a draw on the widget,
+ or the part affected by the focus/default anyway.
+ Also, GtkWidget now has default implementations for focus_in_event
+ and focus_out_event. These set/unset GTK_HAS_FOCUS, and queue a
+ draw. So if your focus in/out handler just does that, you can delete
+ it.

+GtkText and GtkTree are buggy and broken. We don't recommend using
+ them, and changing old code to avoid them is a good idea. The

+gtk_toolbar_new() no longer has arguments. This function
+ was broken because the default GtkToolbarStyle (icons, text, both)
+ is now a user preference, which is overridden when you call
+ gtk_toolbar_set_style(). The constructor forced everyone to
+ override the preference, which was undesirable. So to port
+ your app, decide if you want to force the toolbar style
+ or conform to the user's global defaults; if you want to force
+ it, call gtk_toolbar_set_style().
+</para>
+
+<para>
+ The orientation arg was removed from toolbar_new() as well, just

+The GtkContainer::focus signal/virtualfunction and

+ gtk_container_focus() calls with gtk_widget_child_focus() calls.
