<p>This "breaks" any C++ plugins which relied on the <code>GtkWidget*</code> type being returned from the <code>gtk_*_new()</code> constructors. Those plugins require a cast from <code>void*</code> to <code>GtkWidget*</code> after this compat wrapper was added. (<a href="http://lists.geany.org/pipermail/users/2017-September/010427.html">see here</a>).</p>
<p>Not sure if it's worth fixing, but it would be easy to put a cast back to <code>GtkWidget*</code> to match the return type of the original functions.</p>
