Yes, the second part so that you write it and test it on an application.
Once it is working for glade2 on a general way it is easy to make it
part of a libary. Also the libgnome[ui] guys will not take any
functionality at this point, specially if it has not been well tested.
So the first step is to solve glade2 problems, the second one is to
solve the general problem.
