[Glade-users] drawingarea

[michael aps umn edu (Michael Koppelman)]

This is a great suggestion but I was really hoping to avoid the GTK+
nitty-gritty. With Glade I'm happily focusing on my callbacks and not
very much else. Perhaps I can't avoid getting dirty in the GTK+ code.
Myuran also mentioned gtkextra. I thank you both for your input.


Any chance that Glade will handle gtkextra so I don't have to? ;)

Thanks!
Michael
