[Vala] A couple of Vala questions

[Manish Jain <jude obscure yandex com>]

Hi,


Being new to Vala, I am trying to understand the difference between

things that look similar but are not.


a) GTK applications written in Vala have constructors labelled as

internal (not public). Why is that so ? If a constructor is internal,

main() should not be able to access it. But main() accesses new

MyApplication() easily.


b) I can't make out any difference between GTK.Window and

GTK.ApplicationWindow. Should an application's window derive from

GTK.Window or from GTK.ApplicationWindow? They both seem to work

perfectly same.


Thanks for any tips.
