Okay, when opening example.glade in Glade-2 I see in Options/Language that C is selected.
I also notice that only C and C++ are available...
The Options/Language section was the thing that made me doubt about working support.

A GladeXML file (just like example.glade) is EXACTLY what I want [and it is what I use right now,
but with Gtk-1]. I guess that I have to build my interface from scratch, that converting is
somewhat impossible since there are many changes from Gtk-1 to Gtk-2 ?

alrite, very nice... I'm not familiar with Gtk2 as of yet...

np, I think you did a very good job so far!

well, it almost did... but I might have been too unclear, my comprehension might also be
unsufficient.

The GladeXML file has to "written" for Perl or not ?
that's the part which is still unclear to me...

What is the use of being able to specify the language in the project options ?

-Pascal
PS: muppet : perhaps I should rebuild Glib-Perl, Gtk2-Perl, etc. before going any further ?
