[Glade-devel] Why Glade 3 removes unknown elements

[dossantos at ebu.ch (Dos Santos, Oliveira)]

Hi Tristan,

I'm running on Glade 3.8.3 under Fedora 18 x64. It's the official Fedora release, I didn't built it from the 
source.

I think Juan implemented something for that (by storing the unrecognised widget and re-adding the xml at save 
time).

Note that 'custom widgets' Glade 2 style is deprecated in favour of just using a small xml catalog to define 
the custom widgets you want to add in your own project (which will show up in Glade's palette).

What version of Glade are you running, have you tried it with 3.14.x ?

Cheers,
