Hi German,

nice to hear there are more people interested in that :-)

there is already some talk and a little code (in fact, very little code
:-) about that issue.

you may want to read

http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/glade-devel/2006-November/thread.html#1409
(the feature-request thread)

and those two threads on the gtkmm mailing list:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtkmm-list/2006-November/thread.html#00132
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtkmm-list/2006-November/thread.html#00200

I'm currently working my way into the python binding just trying to
understand how the whole binding stuff works.

We may, however, need some preliminary work (see
http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/glade-devel/2006-December/thread.html#1425
"using glade.h from C++") with respect to the glade headers. I'm almost
done with renaming the reserved words, but maybe the header structures
will need restructuring before we can even compile some C++-file.

You're very welcome to help, but as said, i'm myself just starting with
reading through he existing code, so I couldn't tell you where to start.
I'll report my progress (and problems ;-) here on the list,so maybe in
the near future we can combine forces.

Greetings,
