Re: Glade & HIG (Was: GNOME ABI review)

Well I guess you could omit Glade's property editor showing those properties
like padding, and settin them to defaults according to HIG. 

Or you could have it configurable. HIG-complaint mode (where it sets suitable
defaults where required), and HIG-noncomplaint mode (well you can know).

Cheers!
