No smooth scrolling in icon and list view

[Cassidy James Blaede]

I assume the custom widgets or views here need to be updated since the smooth scrolling was added in GTK recently. Affects the icon view and the list view (the one that lists the files out and scrolls horizontally, not the expanding one).

This bug is for a next release, not necessary for Luna

[Julián Unrrein (junrrein)]

In the future we can look into actually using Gtk's icon and list views. This way, we will gain support for smooth scrolling automatically, and we get updates from upstream. Right now, we are using custom widgets that are very similar otherwise (the API is pretty much identical).

We should wait until we have Gtk 3.8 if we want to go this route, since that release added support for single-click activation of items in these widgets.
