RE: drawing widget borders

["Tom Liu" <tom liu flextrade com>]

properties.

In that page, they also talking about GLE ? what's that?

Basicly, I think Gtk should include a tool which like windows Spy++.

Thanks.

How does glade do this?  Glade draws boxes around every widget.  Of
course they probably use a special container widget, or do some kind of
hack.
