Hi Anderson

well, some of the things you say are already available in gnome-db:
* gnome-db-viewer -> this is done by the gnome-db-dataset widget
* gnome-db-browser -> this is the gnome-db-grid

So what must be done is to integrate these widgets (and the others) in
glade. Maybe we'll have to add another type of widget which contains all
info needed to connect to the database (as the gnome-db-query stuff in
your example), and then have the other widgets reference that one (more
or less what the DataControl in VB does).

So, really, the first thing to do is to finish the integration of the
existing GNOME-DB widgets in Glade.
