Re: Using GLADE for windows

["Tadej Borovšak" <tadeboro gmail com>]

The only possibility I see here is to split your GUI into several
glade files (one for each toplevel window) and build them using
GtkBuilder when needed.

As for the destroyed label, I think it is easier to recreate it by
hand than messing around with GtkBuilder.
