Ideas for redoing the GDK API

• merge screen into display

• mostly done get rid of child and offscreen windows

• mostly done get rid of root window

• done add GdkMonitor

• add properties for everything
• throw away all the X-isms, like window hints, geometry hints and weird flags we have
• no more foreign windows

• done have proper constructor(s) for GdkWindow, ie no more GdkWindowAttr

• get rid of GdkVisual

• get rid of events for anything but input, do the rest with properties

• kill GdkAtom

• kill GdkSelection

• at the end, look through what's left for the unused stuff and delete it (like GdkWindow stacking APIs and so on)

• done add a proper drawing API, ie begin_paint() gives you a drawing context that you release with end_paint()

• no more reading contents from windows

Related cleanups

• done input-only windows shouldn't be necessary anymore

• event masks should go away
• might be useful to support different types of GdkWIndows - ie resizable toplevels with decorations vs GTK_WINDOW_POPUP style
