Hi
Before I start making changes to gtk<widget>.xml files I'd like to discuss
something first.
Currently, the gtk<widget>.xml files describe a <GetTypeFunction> tag
for the (obviously enough) _get_type function. I think that it is a waste to do
so. For just one thing. It doesn't serve any purpose. If we can get the same
thing from something already there, I think it is better option.
In the <Name> we give the widget name, we can make a _get_type from that.
But as I've disscussed befor with chema, if we use only Capitals to locate
where to put "_", it gives us problems in some situations.
like for GtkButton we get gtk_button_get_type (we use the capital B,to identify
place to insert the "_"). But for GtkHBox if we use the same technique, we
get gtk_h_box_get_type, which is not so. So I once again recommend use of gob
style naming. so GtkButton -> Gtk:Button. That way getting string-ified version
of the _get_type function can be obtained accurately and reduce bloat of xml
files.
Comments? Suggestions?
