Currently, the worst part of the API for this, which has never felt
quite right, is this:
auto cell = std::make_unique<Gtk::CellRendererText>();
cell->property_style() = Pango::STYLE_ITALIC
auto column = std::make_unique<Gtk::TreeViewColumn>("something",
cell);
column->add_attribute(cell->property_text(), columns.title);
column->add_attribute(cell->property_style_set(), columns.italic);
m_TreeView.append_column(std::move(column));
The TreeViewColumn constructor does a pack_start(), which actually
takes the unique_ptr<>, so I hoped I could move that pack_start() to
later:
auto cell = std::make_unique<Gtk::CellRendererText>();
cell
->property_style() = Pango::STYLE_ITALIC
auto column = std::make_unique<Gtk::TreeViewColumn>("something");
column->add_attribute(cell->property_text(), columns.title);
column->add_attribute(cell->property_style_set(), columns.italic);
column->pack_start(std::move(cell));
m_TreeView.append_column(std::move(column));
But that cell->add_attribute() really fails, in GTK+, if the Column doesn't
contain a CellRenderer yet.
