Still busy with university and jobs blah blah blah.

Did manage to get all my new objects/widgets in GTK+ HEAD and write API doc comments for them. Which I am happy about. I also got some good feedback from mpesenti, who is the first victim to try to use GtkComboBoxEntry and GtkEntryCompletion. He also had a lot of good feedback when I was trying to design the entry combo/completion part of the combo box/option menu replacement, which I really appreciate. I think we made the completion stuff rock.

Since all my new stuff is in, I hope to get back to TreeView. I have too many plans for TreeView for 2.4. I need to make a good list first and punt a lot.

One of the reasons why GtkComboBox is cooler than GtkOptionMenu :) :
