GtkExpander

<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
A container which can hide its child

<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
A #GtkExpander allows the user to hide or show its child by clicking on an expander triangle similar to 
the triangles used in a #GtkTreeView.
</para>

  <para>
    Normally you use an expander as you would use any other descendant
    of #GtkBin; you create the child widget and use
    gtk_container_add() to add it to the expander.  When the expander
    is toggled, it will take care of showing and hiding the child
    automatically.

    <para>
      There there are situations in which you may prefer to show and
      hide the expanded widget yourself, such as when you want to
      actually create the widget at expansion time.  In this case,
      create a #GtkExpander but do not add a child to it.  The
      expander widget has an <literal>expanded</literal> property
      which can be used to monitor its expansion state.  You should
      watch this property with a signal connection as follows:
