Gnome2::IconEntry(3)

💖 Gnome2::IconEntry 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for Gnome2::IconEntry — it's a wrapper for GnomeIconEntry, and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the Gnome2::IconEntry(3) man page. she's a whole vibe. let's get into it ✨

🌈 HIERARCHY

like, the family tree, the ancestry, the bloodline 👑

Glib::Object
+----Glib::InitiallyUnowned
     +----Gtk2::Object
          +----Gtk2::Widget
               +----Gtk2::Container
                    +----Gtk2::Box
                         +----Gtk2::VBox
                              +----Gnome2::IconEntry

so Gnome2::IconEntry is down at the bottom, and every single one of those ancestors is her ancestor, no cap. 💅
