A question on some features

["dani brody" <brodydani hotmail com>]

Hi, in regard to the upcoming gtk2.3/4 development i wanted to ask about the 
following features:

Corner Widget: For some widgets like notebooks and scrolled areas to allow 
putting a widget in the corner of the widget. For example: Notebooks would 
be like in mozilla, and with scrolled areas would be like GIMP. So there 
would be a call like this:
gtk_notebook_set_corner_widget(button)

Fake Notebooks: The problem with the current way that notebooks work, is 
that each page is a child, but this could cause a problem if a person wants 
to add a page without children. For example, creating the page widget later, 
when the tab is selected. Or for not really changing children, for example 
having a view that is the same widget but changes information as each tab is 
selected.

Child Swapping: To allow a container to swap a child widget with another 
widget. So if for example i have widget1 as a child for table1, and i want 
to replace wherever widget1 is with widget2. Now normally you would have to 
save how widget1 was added, remove widget1, and then add widget2 the same 
way you added widget1. But with child swapping the widget2 will just be 
added inplace of widget1, with somthing like this:

gtk_container_swap_child(table1, widget1, widget2)

If these are already possible then forgive my ignorance! :)
and please add me to cc,

Thanks
