Request for GtkTable to allow reattachment of child widget

[Ang Bodhi <angbodhi pacific net sg>]

Hi

I'm writing an application using Gtk, in which I use a GtkTable
widget. On a table with a few widgets attached, I need to be able
to dynamically change the attachment position of the child widgets.
Current Gtk table implementation (1.2.8 and 1.2.10) don't allow this.

I find that the reattachment feature can be supported by just the
following changes to the gtk_table_attach() function:

507c507
<   g_return_if_fail (child->parent == NULL);
---
>   g_return_if_fail (child->parent == NULL || child->parent == table);
520,521c520,535
<   table_child = g_new (GtkTableChild, 1);
<   table_child->widget = child;
---
>   if (child->parent == NULL) {
>     table_child = g_new (GtkTableChild, 1);
>     table_child->widget = child;
>   }
>   else {
>     GList *list;
>
>     table_child = NULL;
>     for (list = table->children; list; list = list->next)
>       if (((GtkTableChild *)list->data)->widget == child) {
>  table_child = (GtkTableChild *)list->data;
>  break;
>       }
>
>     g_return_if_fail (table_child != NULL);
>   }

<   table->children = g_list_prepend (table->children, table_child);
<
<   gtk_widget_set_parent (child, GTK_WIDGET (table));
---

I think this feature is quite useful generally and wonder if you
can support it?
