I don't think I agree with this.
I can see the point of checking for missing files -- that kind of
errors happen. But checking [parts of] the contents makes little
sense to me. If someone hand-edits their glade files, they get
what they deserve.
Also, take a look at dialog-search-replace.c. I don't see how to
fit that into your scheme without sacrificing readability. Sure,
we may look up a widget once or twice too often, but that's a hash
lookup and thus quite fast.
There certainly are things in the dialog setup that need attention.
I know of...
* Caching of xml files and/or dialogs. Currently we throw start all
over every time. Thus we cannot have fields with history.
* Too many handlers. Most dialogs currently attach a zillion
handlers in order to track the status of buttons. That is, IMHO,
pointless when we can just get the status from gtk when we need
it.
* Modality. All dialogs except s-a-r are modal, but most need not
be.
* Range selection widget instead of text entry. Jon Kaare is taking
a look at that.
