It has been removed upstream, and extending components instead of compositing them with the delegate pattern is suggested.

We still might use composition by using fake St.Widgets that replicate the same locally, but I guess it's better to follow what upstream does.

Not sure if this means breaking old compatibility though.

Thanks for the PR. I don't think this this will break anything in prior versions, as this is what I used to do long time ago. The reason I moved away (41a315c) was to avoid errors when live updating the extension (I was flooded with bug reports at each new version release on the extension website).

On my system (Debian stable, Gnome 3.22 this makes the shell crash. The problem seems to be related to the oject name, as ''.' seems not to be allowed. See https://github.com/GNOME/glib/blob/master/gobject/gtype.c#L747

I assume it's working somehow in newer Gnome versions or you would have encountered the issues. I renamed the classes (DashToDock.DashSlideContainer and DashToDock.MyDashActor) and merged as [421efee]
