The <a class="ulink" href="http://developer.gnome.org/dotplan/porting/" target="_top">GNOME 2.0
porting guide</a> on <a class="ulink" href="http://developer.gnome.org" target="_top">http://developer.gnome.org</a>
has some more detailed discussion of porting from 1.2 to 2.0.
See the sections on GLib and GTK+.
</p>
<p>
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.

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:
</p>
<div class="informalexample">
<table class="listing_frame" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

<tr>
<td class="listing_lines" align="right"><pre>1

<span class="p">}</span></pre></td>

Also, ::destroy implementations have to release object references that
the object holds. Code in finalize implementations such as:

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
<code class="function">GTK_OBJECT_DESTROYED()</code> macro, and this macro has been
removed. If catching destruction is still needed, it can be done with a
signal connection to ::destroy.

Signal system changes:
The GTK+ 2.0 signal system merely proxies the <span class="structname">GSignal</span>
system now. For future usage, direct use of the
<span class="structname">GSignal</span> API is recommended,
this avoids significant performance hits where <span class="structname">GtkArg</span>
structures have to be converted into <span class="structname">GValue</span>s. For
language bindings, <span class="structname">GSignal</span>+<span class="structname">GClosure</span>
provide a much more flexible and convenient mechanism to hook into signal
emissions or install class default handlers, so the old
<span class="structname">GtkSignal</span> API for language bindings is not
supported anymore.
</p>
<p>
Functions that got removed in the GTK+ signal API:
<code class="function">gtk_signal_n_emissions()</code>,
<code class="function">gtk_signal_n_emissions_by_name()</code>,
<code class="function">gtk_signal_set_funcs()</code>,
<code class="function">gtk_signal_handler_pending_by_id()</code>,
<code class="function">gtk_signal_add_emission_hook()</code>,
<code class="function">gtk_signal_add_emission_hook_full()</code>,
<code class="function">gtk_signal_remove_emission_hook()</code>,
<code class="function">gtk_signal_query()</code>.
Also, the <span class="structname">GtkCallbackMarshal</span> argument to
<code class="function">gtk_signal_connect_full()</code> is
not supported anymore.
For many of the removed functions, similar variants are available
in the <code class="function">g_signal_*</code> namespace.
The <span class="structname">GSignal</span> system performs emissions in a
slightly different manner than the old <span class="structname">GtkSignal</span>
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.

All drawing should now occur by invalidating a region of the widget
(call <code class="function">gdk_window_invalidate_rect()</code> or
<code class="function">gtk_widget_queue_draw()</code> 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.
<code class="function">gtk_widget_draw()</code> 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.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
The <span class="structname">GdkExposeEvent</span> has a new <em class="structfield"><code>region</code></em>
field. This can be used instead of the <em class="structfield"><code>area</code></em> field if you
want a more exact representation of the area to update.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
Sending synthetic exposes using <code class="function">gtk_widget_event()</code> is no
longer allowed. If you just need an expose call you should use
<code class="function">gdk_window_invalidate_rect()</code> or
<code class="function">gdk_window_invalidate_region()</code> instead. For the case
of container widgets that need to propagate expose events to
<code class="literal">NO_WINDOW</code> children you can either use
<code class="function">gtk_container_propagate_expose()</code>, or chain to the
default container expose handler.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
The draw_default and draw_focus methods/signals on
<span class="structname">GtkWidget</span> are gone; simply draw things in your
expose handler. <code class="function">gtk_widget_draw_focus()</code> and
<code class="function">gtk_widget_draw_default()</code> wrapper
functions are also gone; just queue a draw on the widget,
or the part affected by the focus/default anyway.
Also, <span class="structname">GtkWidget</span> now has default implementations for
focus_in_event and focus_out_event. These set/unset
<code class="literal">GTK_HAS_FOCUS</code>, and queue a draw. So if your focus in/out
handler just does that, you can delete it.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
<span class="structname">GtkText</span> and <span class="structname">GtkTree</span> are
buggy and broken. We don't recommend using them, and changing old code to
avoid them is a good idea. The recommended alternatives are
<span class="structname">GtkTextView</span> and <span class="structname">GtkTreeView</span>.
The broken widgets are not declared in the headers by default; to use
them, define the symbol <code class="literal">GTK_ENABLE_BROKEN</code> during
compilation. In some future release, these widgets will be removed from GTK+.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
<span class="structname">GdkColorContext</span> is gone; you probably weren't using
it anyway. Use <span class="structname">GdkColormap</span> and the
<code class="function">gdk_rgb_*</code> functions instead.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
<span class="structname">GtkMenuBar</span> now draws the <em class="structfield"><code>GtkContainer::border_width</code></em>
space outside the frame, not inside the frame.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
In GTK+ 1.2, if an event handler returned <code class="literal">TRUE</code> it prevented
propagation of that event to parent widgets. That is, the
event signal would not be emitted on parent widgets. In
GTK+ 2.0, if an event handler returns <code class="literal">TRUE</code>, the current
signal emission on the current widget is immediately stopped. That is,
other callbacks connected to the signal will not be invoked.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>
<code class="function">gtk_toolbar_new()</code> no longer has arguments. This function
was broken because the default <code class="literal">GtkToolbarStyle</code> (icons,
text, both) is now a user preference, which is overridden when you call
<code class="function">gtk_toolbar_set_style()</code>. 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 <code class="function">gtk_toolbar_set_style()</code>.
</p>
<p>
The orientation arg was removed from <code class="function">gtk_toolbar_new()</code>
as well, just because it wasn't very useful and we were breaking the function
anyway so had an opportunity to lose it. Call
<code class="function">gtk_toolbar_set_orientation()</code> to set toolbar orientation.
</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>
<span class="structname">GtkRange</span>/<span class="structname">GtkScrollbar</span>/<span class="structname">GtkScale</span> were rewritten; this means that most
theme engines won't draw them properly, and any custom subclasses of
these widgets will need a rewrite (though if you could figure out
how to subclass the old version of <span class="structname">GtkRange</span>, you
have our respect). Also, <code class="literal">GtkTroughType</code> is gone.

Here are some notable changes:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: circle; ">
<li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="literal">stepper_size</code> style property is the height for

<code class="function">gtk_scale_value_width</code>.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
Moved bindings from subclasses to <span class="structname">GtkScale</span>,
even arrow keys, since blind users don't know scale orientation.

<li class="listitem"><p>
Digits rounds the values a range will input to the given

The GtkContainer::focus signal/virtual function and
<code class="function">gtk_container_focus()</code> call were replaced by
GtkWidget::focus and <code class="function">gtk_widget_child_focus()</code>.
The semantics are the same, so you should be able to just
replace <code class="literal">container_class->focus = mywidget_focus</code> with
<code class="literal">widget_class->focus = mywidget_focus</code> and replace
<code class="function">gtk_container_focus()</code> calls with

window being offscreen is no longer considered an error; instead, the area
contains undefined contents for the offscreen areas. In most cases, code
using <code class="function">gdk_image_get()</code> should really be ported to
<code class="function">gdk_pixbuf_get_from_drawable()</code>.

effect of "allow_grow", call
<code class="literal">gtk_window_set_resizable (window, TRUE)</code>. You didn't want
the effect of "auto_shrink", it made no sense. But maybe if you were using
it you want to use <code class="literal">gtk_window_resize (window, 1, 1)</code> to
snap a window back to its minimum size (the 1, 1 will be rounded up to the
minimum window size).
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
The core GTK+ now takes care of handling mapping, unmapping and
realizing the child widgets of containers in
<code class="function">gtk_widget_set_parent()</code>. In most cases, this allows
container implementations to be simplified by removing the code in
<code class="function">add()</code> methods to map and realize children. However,
there are a couple of things to watch out for here:
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
If the parent is realized before the <code class="function">add()</code> happens,
<code class="function">gtk_widget_set_parent_window()</code> must be called before
<code class="function">gtk_widget_set_parent()</code>, since
<code class="function">gtk_widget_set_parent()</code> will realize the child.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>
If a container depended on its children not being mapped
unless it did so itself (for example, <span class="structname">GtkNotebook</span>
only mapped the current page), then the new function
<code class="function">gtk_widget_set_child_visible()</code> must be called to keep
widgets that should not be mapped not mapped.
</p>
<p>
As part of this change, most containers also will no longer need custom
implementations of the <code class="function">map()</code> and
<code class="function">unmap()</code> virtual functions. The only cases where this
is necessary are:

windows in <code class="function">realize()</code>. ]
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
For <code class="literal">NO_WINDOW</code> widgets, if you create windows in your

<code class="function">gtk_widget_set_default_style()</code>,

You should generally use <code class="function">gtk_widget_modify_*()</code>
instead.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="function">gtk_image_new()</code> now takes no arguments and creates an
