    object: Only accept plain-object property bags in GObject constructors · f33a9dd4
    Philip Chimento authored
    We have, for a long time, allowed these objects to be any objects.
    However, this causes problems, because people do things like this:
    
      new Gio.FileIcon(myFile)
    
    instead of
    
      new Gio.FileIcon({file: myFile})
    
    whereas Gio.FileIcon doesn't support a null file property. Probably this
    is a confusion with g_file_icon_new().
    
    On the other hand, sometimes it probably just works. And maybe there are
    cases where people are doing it intentionally.
    
    We'll land this early in the GNOME 47 cycle and back it out if it really
    causes problems with existing code.
    
    Closes: #580
