Here's the Changes-2.0.txt entry for what I just checked
in:
* GdkAtoms no longer correspond to X atoms. This change was made
because in GTK+-2.2, when we introduce multihead support, the
same GdkAtom will map to different X atoms on different displays.
To convert from GdkAtoms to and from X atoms, use
gdk_x11_xatom_to_atom and gdk_x11_atom_to_xatom.
* To allow the compiler to catch attempts to use X atoms as
GdkAtoms, and vice versa, GdkAtom has been changed to an opaque
pointer typedef. This causes some incompatibilities:
- When storing GdkAtom as pointers, as in the GList
GdkDragContext->targets, you can no longer use
GPOINTER_TO_UINT, GUINT_TO_POINTER. You can either use
the GDK_POINTER_TO_ATOM, GDK_ATOM_TO_POINTER macros,
or omit any macro let the C compiler do the cast from void *
to GdkAtom * for you.
- Using the GDK atom constants an GDK_NONE for X atoms, or
None and the Xatom.h constants for GDK atoms no longer
works.
- You can no longer use GdkAtom in integer contexts, such
as a case statement. (Such usage was very rare or nonexistant)
- The GdkSelection, GdkTarget, and GdkSelectionType enumerations
become deprecated aliases for GdkAtom. To my knowledge,
these enumerations were unused.
