While this is indeed correct workaround, the Hildon binding should
probably be updated (so you get type-checking from the compiler).

In that case, can that be a different vapi so that we can still use
hildon-1 with diablo (maemo 4.x)?
Or at least keep the legacy version as hildon-1-diablo.vapi or something?

These are Maemo specific changes to GTK+ (properties of Gtk.Entry, not
of Hildon.Entry). This lead to the slightly awkward Hildon.gtk_...
helper functions. I forgot to wrap all of them - here is a patch that
adds the missing Hildon.gtk_entry_... functions to
hildon-1-custom.vapi.

The helper function in question is Hildon.gtk_entry_set_input_mode
(Gtk.Entry entry, Hildon.GtkInputMode mode). I guess we could also
manually add the hildon-input-mode property without accessor methods
to Hildon.Entry, but this is the official API.


You could manually specify the names of the accessors. Is there any
valid reason for binding those as ugly static methods except being
"politically correct"?

Vala doesn't let me add methods to Gtk classes from hildon-1.vapi.
Changing upstream gtk+-2.0.vapi for a vendor specific modification
doesn't seem right. What would you suggest?


I would suggest that adding vendor specific modifications to existing
classes is way too ugly to be accepted and you should bind it to hildon
classes. How can they even add more properties to an already defined
class?
