Greetings all,

I've been playing with Glade in an attempt to RAD a little project I'm
starting on.  Very nice program, could use more volenteers.  'Fraid I'm
not qualified yet...

Anyhow, my issue of concern is currently the CList widget.  It seems very
functional, but very row-oriented.  What I will need is something that is
able to implement the following features:

 *) The ability to dynamically add/remove columns.
 *) The ability to embed a checkbox in a cell.
 *) The ability to enable/disable individual cells.

Workarounds appear to exist, but this is hardly preferrable.  For
instance, I can destroy/recreate the CList to add/remove a column.  I can
replace a checkbox with a checked/unchecked pixmap (right?  Didn't see
anything specific about cell selections...)  And I can grey out individual
cells (right?) and ignore user commands to "check"/"uncheck" pixmaps.
That's what I'm thinking right now, anyway.  However, I appear to be able
to gtk_clist_get_cell_type() and return GTK_CELL_WIDGET.  Am I correct in
assuming that I *can* embed widgets (checkboxes)?  I'm working off
documentation here, not actual code ... so I'm just fishing around to get
a feel for what the toolkit can and can not do.

And finally, I guess, if none of this is really possible, is it planned
for version 1.1/1.2?  I have no aversion to using development stuff
because I plan to staticly link the library.

Hmm ... I guess I should also ask ... is GTK/et al LGPL?  I'm sure I'll
find it in the docs, but since I'm thinking of it now...

Thanks in advance,
Christopher
