You can now amend the predefined actions in an EAlert by calling
e_alert_add_action(). Useful for adding actions from an existing
GtkUIManager.
Call e_alert_peek_actions() to obtain a combined list of predefined
and custom actions. These will typically serve as "related" actions
for GtkButtons (cf. gtk_activatable_set_related_action()).
Also, both EShellWindow and EShellView now implement EAlertSink. Use
EShellWindow for application-wide alerts, EShellView for view-specific
alerts.
Still remaining:
GtkAccessible::widget
GtkAssistant::forward
GtkAssistant::back
GtkObject::flags
GtkTreeStore::stamp
The GtkAssistant fields are related to bug #596428. We don't
need accessor functions so much as the enhancement described
there implemented.

For express mode:
- Move the search bar up to the toolbar.
- Hide the "filter" combo box and lock down the first item.
- Hide the "scope" combo box and lock down the first item.
(This is the combo box with "Current Folder" only in the mailer.)
- EShellView owns the search bar widget now instead of EShellContent.
- Insert several nasty hacks that will likely come back to bite me.
Move the search interface to a new widget: EShellSearchbar
The current search rule is now stored in EShellView, and the search
context in EShellViewClass similar to GalViewCollection (since it's
class-specific, not instance-specific).
Also add a couple new signals to EShellView: "clear-search" and
"custom-search" ("custom" refers to an advanced search or a saved
search -- something more complex than a quick search).
Still working out a few kinks. The search entry is clearly trying to
be too many things. We need a different way of indicating that you're
looking at search results. Perhaps a search results banner similar to
Nautilus.
The changes are mainly including the e-alert-header.h header instead of just
e-alert.h. This allows us to include e-alert.h in non-UI situations when
necessary.
The EError mechanism is used both for error dialogs as well as basic alerts or
user prompts, so we should give it a more general name which matches this use.
This patch also cleans up a few includes of e-alert.h (formerly e-error.h) that
were not actually being used.

This addresses bug #593896 but is also a cleaner design than before.
It introduces an EShellView::execute-search signal and renames the
"search-execute" action to "search-quick" to clarify that it's only
meant for the "quick" search bar in the main window.
Shell view subclasses should implement the execute_search() method to
actually execute a search.
e_shell_view_execute_search() emits the new signal.
Each EShellView now maintains a GKeyFile for recording disposable widget
state such as tree view path expansion, scroll bar positions, combo box
selections, etc. The EShellView records changes to the key file to
~/.evolution/<shell-backend>/config/state, and automatically restores
the GKeyFile at startup.
Currently only the mailer uses the key file, but it's intended to serve
all shell views. It replaces the use of Camel "cmeta" files, as well as
"et-expanded-*" and "folder-tree-expand-state.xml" files.
Also, the mailer's folder tree model now includes a column for tracking
which sidebar folders are expanded. Folder tree widgets appearing in
dialog windows can copy the sidebar's expanded state using
em_folder_tree_clone_expanded().
