Well, many of the enumerator/flag types really belong to a single class.

Some of them, though, are implemented in generic interfaces, implemented
by child classes. e.g.: the GtkPositionType belongs to GtkScale, and
GtkUpdateType belongs to GtkRange. Both of them are used in derived
classes, such as GtkHScale and GtkVScale. Replicating documentation
seems like an overkill to me.

But, in the end, are just two lines to be added, so it could be done
with a minimal effort.

Since I'm already tracking those for the tutorial, I could do this.

Ciao,
 Emmanuele.
