 * @short_description: Base Class for elements responsible for controlling
 * other #GESTimelineElement-s
 *
 * A #GESContainer is a timeline element that controls other
 * #GESTimelineElement-s, which are its children. In particular, it is
 * responsible for maintaining the relative #GESTimelineElement:start and
 * #GESTimelineElement:duration times of its children. Therefore, if a
 * container is temporally adjusted or moved to a new layer, it may
 * accordingly adjust and move its children. Similarly, a change in one of
 * its children may prompt the parent to correspondingly change its
 * siblings.
