<summary>Application class</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
Provides the initialization and event loop iteration related
methods for the GTK widget library. Since GTK+ is an event
driven toolkit, Applications register callbacks against various
events to handle user input. These callbacks are invoked from
the main event loop when events are detected.

<summary />
<remarks>
<para>
Runs a single iteration of the mainloop. If no events are
waiting to be processed GTK+ will block until the next
event is noticed. If you don't want to block look at <see cref="M:Gtk.Application.RunIteration(bool)" /> or check if
any events are pending with <see cref="M:Gtk.Application.EventsPending()" /> first.

<summary>Whether there are events on the queue</summary>
<returns>true if events are available to be processed, false otherwise</returns>
<remarks>
<para>
Checks if any events are pending. This can be used to
update the GUI and invoke timeouts etc. while doing some
time intensive computation.
</para>
<example>
<code lang="C#">
void LongComputation ()
{
while (!done){
ComputationChunk ();
// Flush pending events to keep the GUI reponsive
while (Application.EventsPending ())
Application.RunIteration ();
}
}

<summary>Runs the main loop</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
Runs the main loop until <see cref="M:Gtk.Application.Quit()" /> is called. You can nest
calls to <see cref="Gtk.Application.Run()" />. In that
case <see cref="M:Gtk.Application.Quit()" /> will make the
innermost invocation of the main loop return.

<summary>Initializes GTK+ for operation.</summary>
<param name="args">The arguments to pass to the toolkit</param>
<remarks>
<para>
Call this function before using any other GTK+ functions
in your GUI applications. It will initialize everything
needed to operate the toolkit.
</para>
<para>
This function will terminate your program if it was unable
to initialize the GUI for some reason. If you want your
program to fall back to a textual interface you want to
call <see cref="M:Gtk.Application.InitCheck()" /> instead.
</para>
<para>
The args values will be modified after Gtk has removed the
command line options that it handles itself.

<summary>Initializes GTK+ for operation, probes window system.</summary>
<returns>true if the toolkit was initialized, false if the
windowing system can not be initilized.</returns>
<param name="args">The arguments to pass to the toolkit</param>
<remarks>
<para>
You use this call to initialize GTK+ for your GUI
applications. This method will allow your application to
be both GUI/text. A true return value means that the
toolkit was initialized, a false value means that the
toolkit could not be initialized. If you do not want to
do dual GUI/text applications, you can use <see cref="M:Gtk.Application.Init()" /> instead.

This function will terminate your program if it was unable
