[Lazarus] GTK2 changed to single-handle-per-form design

[Alexsander Rosa]

Here in Brazil we've been always metric but we use "inches" sometimes. For
example: most TV sets, computer monitors, diskettes (obsolete), water pipes
(specially smaller sizes), surf boards and automobile wheels still are
measured in inches. The conversion is easy: 1 in = 2.54 cm, 1 feet = 12
inches. My notebook has a 15" monitor; my first Intel PC had 5 1/4" diskette
drives. As a teenage I had a 5'11" surf board. My car has 17" wheels.
