GNOME Goal: Remove GtkObject uses

Introduction

In GTK+ 3, GtkObject has been removed. The destroy signal has been moved to GtkWidget, and non-widget classes derived from GtkObject (GtkAdjustment, GtkCellRenderer, GtkFileFilter, GtkRecentFilter) have been changed to derive from GInitiallyUnowned.

Guidelines

In most cases, it is enough to simple change calls to gtk_object_destroy() to gtk_widget_destroy(), and change GTK_OBJECT() casts to either G_OBJECT() or GTK_WIDGET(). If you have a widget class that implements destroy, you have to adjust the class_init function to set widget_class->destroy instead of gtkobject_class->destroy. In the rare case that you have a non-widget GtkObject-derived class which uses the destroy signal, you have to implement destroy yourself.

More info in the migration guide in the GTK+ documentation.

Tip: If you choose to work on a module, create the bug report on the GNOME bugzilla for the relevant module, and make it block bug 630874. This way people will know someone already works on it, and won't duplicate the work you're doing.
