GIMP is still using the horizontal wrap-box in two other places. But at
least one place (GimpContainerGridView) should really be rewritten. So I
don't think we have a strong interest in having wrap-box functionality
in GTK+. But we would like to see a grid widget that we can use for
showing things like brushes in a grid-view.
