* xed-app.c: replace get_active_window with gtk_application version This allows us to remove quite a bit of code, some of which uses deprecated functions, so it also has the benefit of cleaning up the deprecation warnings a bit. * Switch a couple uses of gtk_show_uri with gtk_show_uri_on_window gtk_show_uri is deprecated. * Taglist plugin: remove call to gtk_tree_view_set_rules_hint This function is deprecated, and it already defaults to false in any case, so it wasn't doing anything anyway. * Deprecations: move all instances of gtk_menu_popup to newer methods In a couple cases this simplifies the code quite a bit * Replace deprecated gdk_window_at_pointer with newer method
