the problem is that I want to use libglade mainly for the gtk+ build. Let's
me explain a bit:
The gnome build don't have to handle the gtk code that builds a dialog
(mostly). Inheritance takes cares of this problem. The main problem that I
tried to solve with libglade is the time and pain that takes to fix even a
little UI problem. If you don't remember, the lists dialog discussion
caused many many emails, and the UI has been discussed to the bones.
I wanted to post a dialog box that looks like the word one, but I'm pretty
much sure that not everybody will agree with my design, and I want to
simplify the work of everybody that wants to fix the UI (specially myself).
A cool side effect of libglade is that the little code that we had to wrote
to have a gnome version is no more necessary.
And just to be clear, I *DON'T* want to add a gnome depencie to the GTK+
build. When I wanted to add a gnome depencie I did it an optional thing.
