Description

     GtkEntry is a single line text field generally used where input is
     required from the user. The minimum length of the entry field is
     set internally at 150 pixels; the maximum length is determined by
     the size of the container. If the text entered is longer than the
     entry field, the widget will scroll so that the cursor position is
     visible.

     Both GtkEntry and GtkText have the potential to be edited by the
     user, and share a fairly large number of key bindings to that end.
     These are listed under GtkEditable for the sake of completeness;
     however, note that they are replaced by a more intuitive set in
     GTK+ 2.0.

   It will be immediately obvious that quite a few GtkEntry methods are
   marked here as being deprecated in later GTK+ releases. Please be
   aware that all editable classes are undergoing radical changes, and
   that deprecated methods may or may not be supportable in the future.
   It would therefore be wise to avoid methods marked as deprecated, as
   far as is possible.

     GtkToggleButton, GtkRadioButton.
