2058 :: gtk2 user_data

  At

  https://developer.gnome.org/gtk2/stable/GtkObject.html#gtk-object-set-user-data

  I find the comment:

  
  gtk_object_set_user_data is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
  
  Use g_object_set_data() instead.
  
  Run

  However, the official nim gtk2 module does not seem to define g_object_set_data

  I don't see an official gtk3 module yet and it doesn't seem standard with the Linux distros yet anyway.

  Please advise: Either:

  1. Use the deprecated gtk_object_set_user_data
  2. declare the g_object_set_data perhaps like:

  
  proc new_set_data*(anObject: PObject, key: cstring, data: gpointer){.cdecl,
      importc: "g_object_set_data", dynlib: lib.}
  Run

  OOPS - - - my bad.

  Found g_object_set_data in glib2.nim I'm clearly not very familiar with Gtk

  Sorry!
