i don't think it makes much sense to be too restrictive about API changes
in the new widgets, i.e. text and tree view.
it's only now (or very recently) that people start using those widgets
with our prereleases, so necessary API changes should be paid much
attention to for the newly added code portions.
that being said, i don't have enough information to judge the
issue at hand, but i'd like to sensitize you for the fact that the
major part of API review for our new widgets is yet to come (of course
i also don't want anymore random shuffeling of APIs going on, but we
meant to provide _suitable_ replacements for GtkText and GtkCTree with
2.0, right? ;)
