proposal: gdk_draw_focus_rectangle

[Hans Breuer <hans breuer org>]

while trying to keep Gtk+2.0 up-to-date on win32, I stumbled
over just another limitation in the Windoze API. It is 
not possible to draw a really dotted line (one pixel drawn, one
pixel empty) with standard GDI (Win9x) functions. The 'dotted' line
style draws and leaves _four_ pixels instead. As a result
the focus indication looks somewhat ugly.

With a little cooperation from the Gtk core team it would be possible
to use the GDI standard function DrawFocusRect, which is used
for focus indication on plain win32.

So I propose to add the following function to the gdk backends:

void
gdk_draw_focus_rectangle (GdkDrawable *drawable,
		    GdkGC       *gc,
		    gint         x,
		    gint         y,
		    gint         width,
		    gint         height)

Is there any chance that a corresponding patch will be accepted
or will it get the recently common "BROKEN!"-brandmark ?

Regards,
	Hans
