I'm going to invoke another feature
of the Apache voting system we've discussed, and veto this change.

and I was just wanting to know "what feature".
Anyway, apache styles aside, if everybody feels like the glade support
should be dropped, I will erase it from the tree. PLEASE READ MY STUPID
MINI-FAQ. I always have been ready to erase the glade support, but I (maybe
stupidly) supposed that nobody will complain too hard to leave this feature
until the lists dialog is finished.
In short, last time I touched this dialog, it took me some hours to do a
fairly trivial UI change, and we have *lenghtly* discussed the dialog UI.
I'm pretty much sure that even if I do a mockup of the dialog, it would not
be accepted at the first try, and that we will change it.

Apache voting system has not yet been "implemented". And it's not code. I
was yet trying to change your mind about the system.
And why the implementation of glade was premature? we are weeks ago from a
release, and the glade patch is *VERY* localized. Really it's reduced to
the Break dialog, and I took it because it was a specially trivial dialog
(and just to show how it works).

bool will not help me to build the lists dialog.
