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.

Note that express2 got some documentation for EExtensible and friends,
and that documentation is not in gnome-2-30 yet. We need to cherry-pick
those commits into gnome-2-30 and elsewhere.
Express mode requires a reduced preferences dialog. Many options in the
current preferences dialog are pure, unadulterated crack. So we need
an easy way to hide them, to simplify the dialog and reduce its size.
Here we add a function that takes a GConf key, reads a list of strings
from that key, and hides the widgets whose names are those strings.
This gives us an easy way to experiment with what widgets should
be hidden in the preferences dialog, without needing to recompile
all the time.

This demonstrates how to extend EShell without having to modify and
recompile e-shell.c. If NetworkManager integration is enabled, the
extension is loaded automatically when the EShell is created.
The same pattern can be applied to integrate other network monitoring
software like ConnMan or Microsoft's Wireless Zero Configuration.
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.

Introduce e_extensible_list_extensions(), which provides extensible
objects access to their own extensions, or a subset of them.
Convert EShellBackend to an abstract EExtension subtype. EShell will
load its extensions with e_extensible_load_extensions(), and then obtain
a list of EShellBackend extensions as follows:
shell_backends = e_extensible_list_extensions (
E_EXTENSIBLE (shell), E_TYPE_SHELL_BACKEND);
Because EShellBackend is abstract, its GType is skipped while traversing
the GType hierarchy to find EShell extensions.

recompile e-shell.c. If NetworkManager integration is enabled, the

There's too much ancient, crufty code there that we can't realistically
support anymore. A workaround for those poor users still on 1.x is to
upgrade to some 2.x release first, then upgrade again to 3.x. An error
dialog explaining this will be shown at startup.
