[Glade-users] Apparent bug in glade-3 with copy and paste

[scott at starlon.net (Scott Flynn)]

Oh to clarify my experiments, I went further than I did before the email and
actually tried loading the GtkBuilder file generated. There were many
complaints. :) Certainly nothing I wanted to work out by hand. Someone said
something about converting the project. I didn't see a way to do that in
Glade3. Is there some script people are using?
