Great! Specially since the programs in the testing directory are somewhat
out-of-date. You should better base your examples in the fe application, which
is the most complete (and up-to-date) sample code.

I'll answer to the questions in the code shortly.

And all the work you get done with gnome-db+libglade will be very useful for
the gda-builder app, which will use libglade. So please keep us informed on
this.
