right now, the policy is that glade widgets grab right clicks,
ctl+"left clicks" and the first left click.

selected widgets get a selection drawn on top of them.

You are suggesting that in "test mode" these functionalities
dissapear ?

Thats not very hard to accomplish; but what do you get out of it ?

you could "see" how widgets react; but you wouldn't have any navigation
installed at this point.

maybe if this feature would be combined with a "gtk_rc_parse ()" to
see how your app will "look" in different themes it would be a little
more worth while ?

My 2 cents,
