sorry for the delayed reply, yes its possible, we see this more as a bug
than a feature ;-) there is a module in glade that is used to bookkeep the
availability of widget names in a project, were just not using it properly,
as specially wrt what happens when you copy paste widgets, transfer
them across projects etc.

it would be nice though to simply dissallow input of duplicate names.

Cheers,
