Yes, there's more to HIG-compliance than dialog borders. Why is this an
objection to making Glade and libglade use HIG defaults?

In Glade, I'd like to just select HIG_DEFAULT for a dialog's border instead
of 6. Likewise the other widgets. That might, or might not, make sense.

If it works, then the .glade file could contain HIG_DEFAULT instead of 6.
libglade would then know that it meant 6 when it read the .glade file.

Glade would also know that HIG_DEFAULT meant 6 (or whatever is appropriate
for that property of that widget) and would draw it's preview appropriately.
