+ * @short_description: an interface for widgets that can be associated
+ *                     with actions
+ *
+ * This interface provides a convenient way of associating widgets with
+ * actions on a #GtkApplicationWindow or #GtkApplication.
+ *
+ * It primarily consists of two properties: "action-name" and
+ * "action-target".  There are also some convenience APIs for setting
+ * these properties.
+ *
+ * This interface is presently only meaningful if used on a widget that
+ * is (or will be) located inside of a #GtkApplicationWindow and can
+ * only be used to associate the widget with actions on that window, or
+ * its associated #GtkApplication.
+ *
+ * Since: 3.4
