Re: libglade with Gtk2 and Gnome2

[Ross McFarland <rwmcfa1 neces com>]

under new-gtk2-perl it shouldn't be much of an issue to get things in
order so that Gtk:GladeXML can be done. i.e. adding GladeXML to the
typemaps, adding the necessary. cflags/libs, etc. i (or muppet) can do
the initial steps toward that in about 5 minutes.i have no experience
with libglade so i wouldn't be the person to do the xs bindings.after
looking at the glade-xml.h header file the complicated part(s) would be
the dealing with functions that involve callbacks.(as is the case with
gtk -> anything mappings) 

short version: can be done, relatively easy to do, someone that knowns
libglade/GladeXML needs to volunteer to do it.
