Original commit message from CVS:
This patch (nearly) completes the removal of vertical events from the
core.
What it does:
- removal of the EVENT signal of GstElement (to be replaced by
g_object_notify)
- changing of the ERROR signal to allow recursive notification (like
deep_notify)
- implementing recursive notification with error events.
- removal of some functions in gstbin.c that are not used anymore.
- The function gst_element_info and gst_element_send_event now do
nothing but printing a warning, that these functions are gone. This is
done to allow plugins to catch up.
- Some bugfixes in XML saving are included, they simply were in the
file.
