oh! sincerly, I don't care about that feature since I don't use it.

great :)

unfortunatly, it doesn't work for me...
when trying to convert my interface
(http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/movixmaker/movixmaker/interface/MoviXMaker.glade)
i get the follwing :

$ libglade-convert MoviXMaker.glade
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/libglade-convert", line 1201, in ?
    main()

I must admit that I don't understand how I could fix things up...

thanks anyway! :)

the thing that made me doubt is the Language tag that was there back in GladeXML for Gtk-1.

Okay, I do it right now.
