New action functions

[GoogleCodeExporter]

New action functions.

The enable and disable action functions are very simply implemented within 
Gtkdialog and there are other similar GtkWidget methods that would be useful:

hide and show - 
http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/2.24/GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-set-visible

activate - 
http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/2.24/GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-activate

There might be more but I wanted to get these written down now.

"present" might be useful -

"resize" or maybe <action type="geometry">varname:x:y:w:h</action>, something 
like that.

show and hide action functions were added in r336.

For the most effect it'll require that container widgets accept attributes such 
as <variable> which requires updating the parser which I'm going to do now.

Regarding show and hide, the only remaining widgets that don't accept 
directives are the separators.

• Added labels: Priority-High

The problem with something like <action>widgetprepend:src|dst</action> is that 
the destination is hardcoded into the action which doesn't make it any more 
useful than showing a hidden widget.
