Hi All,

I thought it would be worth mentioning that we need to get rid of all direct access to private fields of objects as part of our GTK+ 3 migration.

i.e.

foo->bar = bar_val; // NO!! gtk_foo_set_bar (foo, bar_val); //Yes!

bar_val = foo->bar; // NO!! bar_val = gtk_foo_get_bar (foo); //Yes!

To check for these issues, you can compile inkscape with:

make CFLAGS+="-DGSEAL_ENABLE" CXXFLAGS+="-DGSEAL_ENABLE"

Note that there are probably hundreds of such problems, so any help with the cleanup would be appreciated!

Usually there is a suitable GTK/GDK accessor function to fix the problem. Sometimes (e.g. [1]) there isn't, which I guess implies that we're doing something the "wrong" way.

Cheers,

Alex
