The glimmer module in gnomecvs is no longer a standalone editor like
glimmer for GNOME 1.x. It's now just a widget/bonobo editor component,
primarily used in anjuta2.

1.2.1 is probably still the GNOME 1.x standalone editor. If you want to
use a GNOME2 code editor, then i suggest you look at either gedit (2.3
version) which has syntax highlighting, or use anjuta1 which uses the
scintilla editor widget.

Glimmer is definitely not ready for production use yet. The rewrite on
the "new-gtksourceview" branch is not yet complete. And some python
integration is also planned.

Hope this helps,
