I'll do something like this. First, revert the commit. Then, merge my
branch. Doing a straight rebase is not trivial, as places-sidebar has
gotten master merged into it a few times to keep up with general
development. And finally, apply your commit again with lots of changes.

I totally agree with this for *public* widgets, those that go into the
public API.
But for GtkFileChooserDefault, I have two objections:
1. It's a private, internal widget, never meant to be exported.
2. I'd really really really like to keep the file chooser's code as
similar as possible between gtk2 and gtk3. Otherwise, cherry-picking
fixes becomes much harder.
I do appreciate having the private stuff in the .c file. And I
definitely don't like the current state (well, before your patches)
where the GtkFileChooserDefault struct is not in
gtkfilechooserdefault.h, but in a gtkfilechooserprivate.h file. I don't
remember why it ended up there; probably so that the unit tests would be
able to poke at internal widgets. *That* is not the right thing to do,
anyway, so I'm happy to see the struct move elsewhere. But the
objections still stand.
I haven't even seen how the code for composite templates pokes at
structs... but why does it have to care whether the struct is private or
public? Could we have:
gtkfilechooserdefault.h:
/* no struct definitions at all */
typedef struct GtkFileChooserDefault *GtkFileChooserDefault;
typedef struct GtkFileChooserDefaultClass *GtkFileChooserDefaultClass;
gtkfilechooserdefault.c:
/* complete structure definitions */
struct GtkFileChooserDefault {
GtkBox parent;
blah blah;
}

Sorry, you lost me - what would those two files be for?
(GtkPlacesSidebar is a self-contained thing which is mostly a
GtkTreeView...)
