I've checked, and it is indeed a style property now, so I think it would
be wrong to set it in Glade. See update_spacings() in gtkdialog.c.


Also, you mentioned having a homogeneous property for the button box in
GtkDialog. However, button boxes are always homogeneous - it isn't
possible to turn that off.


I'll have a think about the best way to implement size groups.
