Moving from GTK2 to GTK3 has presented various challenges regarding
palettes.
In GTK2, we were able to access some internal API of the GtkMenu class
and use it to embed a GtkMenu in a regular window. As of GTK3, that API
has become private and we can no longer access it.
We still want to use GtkMenu for the advanced functionality it provides
(multiple-level menus, keyboard navigation, etc), but we are now limited
to popping it up with its own (internal) window, rather than being able
to pack it into one of our own.
Our palettes can historically be used either as a menu, or as a general
area where widgets can be added, or both. The new restrictions upon
GtkMenu force some changes here, but we work hard to stick to the old
API as far as possible.
A Palette instance now acts as a controller of either a "window widget"
(where any type of widget can be displayed as usual) or a "menu widget"
which just pops up a GtkMenu. A Palette defaults to the window mode, but
dynamically switches to menu mode if/when the user attempts to access
the menu element.
As a result of this, palettes can now pack either a user-defined collection
of widgets, or a menu, but types can no longer be mixed. This should
only affect a handful of palettes which will need to pick a single
approach and convert to it.
Some further challenges are presented by the fact that GtkMenu performs a
grab on the whole screen, meaning that all input events are delivered to
the GtkMenu widget. Through some careful event filtering and examination
of the mouse cursor position we are still able to determine when the mouse
has entered or left the invoker or menu areas.
This work is authored by Benjamin Berg, Marco Pesenti Gritti, Simon
Schampijer and Daniel Drake.
Fix some trivial issues missed earlier: various missing imports,
some minor API changes to adapt to, do_size_request simple porting,
etc.

CanvasIcon and CanvasInvoker were removed in a previous GTK3-porting commit
as they were based on hippocanvas.
However, this leaves the toolkit with some missing functionality:
there is no longer a trivial way to show an icon which can receive mouse
events and pop up a palette. Such functionality is used in various
places throughout the shell and activities.
Reimplement this functionality as EventIcon and CursorInvoker.
Instead of reimplementing much of the Icon class (like CanvasIcon did),
EventIcon opts for a more simplistic encapsulation of an Icon object.
This means trivial API changes for CanvasIcon users who must now
use the 'icon' property with the Icon API.

With PyGTK, all parameters of the Alignment constructor had defaults [1].
With GTK3+pygi, when using the explicit constructor (Alignment.new() resp.
gtk_alignment_new() [2]), all values would need to be passed. However when
using the GObject constructor, named properties can be passed in instead and
we only need to pass those that different from the default.

Widget.parent
Widget.style
Widget.window

The previous set_source_pixbuf() invocation (on a Cairo context) involves
Gdk data types, so in the new introspection world we need to call a Gdk
function rather than operating on the Cairo object (even if Cairo had already
been converted to introspection).

This is only on a best-effort basis; the code will be in a broken state after
this patch and need to be fixed manually.
The purpose of committing the intermediate, non-working output is to make it
reproducible. It's impractical to manually review the changes.
The exact version used was 4f637212f13b197a95c824967a58496b9e3b877c from the
main pygobject repository [1] plus a custom patch [2] that hasn't been sent

hippo-canvas isn't available in the GTK3 world, so we need to remove
anything that depends on it. Activities that still use it will need replace
hippo-canvas based widgets with native GTK ones before they can be ported to
GTK3.
