Thanks.

Presumably some things, such as the HildonColorChooser* stuff deprecates
other stuff, such as HildonColorButton. It would be nice if that page
(and the API documentation) documented that.

I have a minor but annoying bug about this particular set of widgets in
bugzilla, by the way:
https://www.maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=879
(though maemo's bugzilla seems to be very slow at the moment)

Deprecation documentation of the last set of stuff is also not complete:
https://www.maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=862

If this was done properly using gtk-doc, then you could have nice lists
of new and deprecated API, like GTK+ has:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/ix02.html
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/ix07.html
