I have glade, but I have never been big on qui builders. Only because at
times it has made tracking down errors and bugs allot harder. Not to
mention they rarely use the same code format style that I prefer, so I
end up doing allot of bs tweaking of code.

With that said, I am not opposed to using glade to see the differences
between vbox, hbox, and tables.  For experimentation purposes glade will
most likely be better and faster than hand typed code. Since when I am
done experimenting I will most likely toss the experiment code.

Thanks to all for replying.
