What? Why? Should I write a function called glade_project_preview?
What should I do with its parameters?

I would like to let the preview be a modal option. So that the user
could edit the interface, then preview it, then close the preview to
continue editing it.

Will be done.

Some doubts remain:
Where and how should I send my patch?
What to do with projects that do not have a toplevel widget?
What to do with projects that have many toplevel widgets?
(It doesn't even work if the project doesn't have a widget called "window1")
