+      <para>
+        Instead of the GtkContainer subclass, in GTK+ 4, any widget can
+        have children, and there is new API to navigate the widget tree:
+        gtk_widget_get_first_child(), gtk_widget_get_last_child(),
+        gtk_widget_get_next_sibling(), gtk_widget_get_prev_sibling().
+        The GtkContainer API still works, but if you are implementing
+        your own widgets, you should consider using the new APIs.
