Here's the remaining open API bugs, that we need to resolve in some
fashion before freezing the API
 
 P: We have code for this bug
 X: There is disgreement over what to do for this bug
 ?: This bug may be either a non-bug or something we'll can/need-to punt
 *: New bug since last status report 

Names indicate people who "own" or are working on the particular bug.

Query with all these bugs is:

 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=glib&product=gtk%2B&product=gtk-engines&product=pango&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&target_milestone=1.0+API+freeze&target_milestone=2.0+API+freeze

Fields are:

 Notes: 
 Puntable: Guess as to how badly it would hurt to not do it for 2.0.
 Breakage: Affect of changes on people downstream
 Time:     Time guesstimate.


Misc GLib
=========

59387 g_filename_to/from_uri() [*,Alex]
  Notes:    Patch exists ... still needs to have test cases moved over
            from eel and some cleanup.
  Puntable: Yes, but this would be very convenient for people
  Breakage: No
  Time:     1 hour or so.

59386 optional included gettext implementation [*,Alex]
  Notes:    
  Puntable: 
  Breakage: No
  Time:     

59543 Move gbsearcharray to GLib [*]
  Notes: If we don't move it, we should probably not install the header
  Puntable: Yes
  Breakage: No (binary on some platforms)
  Time:  

59544 Provide closure support for GMain [*]
  Notes:
  Puntable: Yes, mostly.
  Breakage: No (binary, perhaps)
  Time: 0.5-1 day

GObject
=======
50877  Rename libgobject to libgruntime??? [X]
  Notes:    Most people would like to stay with GObject. Tim
            feels strongly that having libgobject and GObject
            is confusing.
  Puntable: 
  Breakage: Yes, lots of fixage.
  Time:     Couple hours

55908  Need a function to know if a GBoxed type is reference counte [?] 
  Notes:    Consensus was that if you cared for a particular GBoxed type, then
            the GBoxed should be a GObject. Some open question about whether 
            the is-refcounted parameter to g_boxed_register_static was
            necessary.
  Puntable: Yes. Worst that happens it that g_boxed_register_static()
            is a little more confusing
  Breakage: Yes, small amount of fixage.
  Time:     0.5 hours

50212  Copying param information is not necessary [X]
  Notes:    Alex is looking into quantifying the wastage here.
  Puntable: 
  Breakage: Theoretical, probably not actual.
  Time:     5 minutes + time to decide
  
55891  Class closures can't be overriden in derived classes [Tim]
  Notes:    
  Puntable: Only at the expense of making class closures useless
  Breakage: Not clear, probably little or none.
  Time      ?

50966  Interface methods can't be overridden in derived classes [Tim]
  Notes:    In some sense "not an API bug", since the header files
            won't change
  Puntable: No
  Breakage: Probably not, but not having this feature hurts fairly badly.
  Time:     ?

50206  Some GObject methods take a gpointer [X]
  Notes:    Tim will review last mail I sent on subject and make final 
            decisions.
  Puntable: 
  Breakage: Some extra casts needed if done
  Time:      

gdk-pixbuf
==========
58308 GdkPixbuf API review [X]
  Notes: Important issue is the name gdk_pixbuf_new_from_stream().
         http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2001-August/msg00514.html
  Puntable: No
  Breakage: Yes
  Time: few minutes, plus check for important downstream packages
        using gdk_pixbuf_new_from_stream(), if any.

GDK
===
50504  Multiple Display Support for X11 implementation [P?,Erwann]
  Notes: 
  Puntable: Applying patch will be punted. Review to make sure
            it can be applied compatibly can't
  Breakage: ?
  Time:     5-6 hours for review 


Misc GTK+
=========
56859  Add convenience handlers
  Notes: Patch exists, Tim needs to decide on 
         gtk_handler_hide_toplevel(), gtk_widget_show_at_idle()
         http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2001-July/msg00079.html
  Puntable: Yes
  Breakage: No
  Time:     10 minutes

56915 GtkWidget::unrealize needs to be run-last
  Notes:    Tim will send mail to gtk-devel-list
  Puntable: 
  Breakage: Yes
  Time:     5 minutes

56916 GtkModule fixes
  Notes:    Tim should look at what I put in the bug description.
            Seems to barely count as API issues.
  Puntable: 
  Breakage: Some
  Time:     1 hour

56917 Add corner widget to GtkScrolledWindow
  Notes:    May be various issues with key navigation, theming
            etc. Seems late to put in this kind of UI addition.
  Puntable: Yes
  Breakage: Possible binary incompat
  Time:     ? 

58920 can't undo gtk_menu_item_right_justify()
  Notes: Add gtk_menu_item_set_right_justified() [ or should
         it be gtk_menu_item_set_secondary(), like 
         gtk_button_box_set_child_secondary().? ]
  Puntable:
  Breakage:   
  Time: 10 minutes

59027 shadow vs. shadow_type properties
  Notes: Question here is how to handle deprecated properties ... 
  Puntable:
  Breakage:   
  Time: 5 minutes

  Puntable: Yes
  Breakage: No

  Breakage: Only bin-compat
  Time: 30 minutes or so

GtkAccelGroup [Tim]
=============
52434  Lock accelerators by default
51745  Notification of accelerator changes [P]
  Notes:    
  Puntable: No
  Breakag:  ?
  Time:     ?

GtkTreeView
===========
50070  DND in TreeView needs implementing 
  Notes:    Just needs check to see if the API is OK 
  Puntable:
  Breakage:
  Time:    

50266  Text/Pixbuf/Pixtext cell renderers could just be merged [?]
  Notes: Multiple-renderers-per-column change already checked
         in, so seems to be just a question of removing
         GtkCellRendererTextPixbuf
  Puntable:
  Breakage: Yes
  Time:    

50344  GtkTreeView should probably consider forwarding more events
  Notes:    
  Puntable:
  Breakage:   
  Time:    

59032 activatable cell renderers API
  Notes:    
  Puntable:
