That's a K.O. criterium for me. Why did you delete it? I admit that 
parameter passing is hackish in C.

Well, I'd implement it but how to put it into the XML file. Do you have 
any proposals?

<signal ... glademm-data="1,2" glademm-type="int,int">

Oh, it's not a fancy idea. It's a two years old plan. I'd love to share 
a glade file between different but similar projects. Hiding them is ok 
but you have to code it by hand and you need these widgets variables 
visible (which is not default for C++, you have to request the widgets 
you want to access).

I'll implement it for C++, but wanted to ask you first whether it might 
be interesting for C projects, too.




By the way, how to convert glade-1 files to glade-2?
