Maybe we can do both ?

    GladeDesignLayout - a GtkBin that holds a toplevel

    GladeProjectLayout - an optional convenience widget
       that subscribes to a project and always displays the toplevel
       containing the currently selected widget in that project

We could use the GladeProjectLayout to simplify the Glade frontend
and anjuta and other ide's can use it if they so desire.

Maybe if the project view were just a simple treeview widget
derivative - you could use one for each project and add them to
a scrolled window yourself and add the separators yourself too ?

I think we're aiming for something where you are free to use gladeui
"view" widgets how you want and set them to the widget/project of your 
choice.
