Re: Single or Multiple Windows?

[Harring Figueiredo <harringf yahoo com>]

 Hi James...

 The best approach is:
 You can have you application main menu in you layout .. and a GtkNotebook for
all other 'windows'. GtkNotebook has an API to hide the tab/page.
 
 So basically, you would have an index for each 'window' that would represent
each user selection.

 I hope you get the gist.

 Harring.
