this would probably be a good faq topic, the custom widget stuff in
glade, especially doing the xpm from data stuff, someone post a good
concise answer and i'll put it up in the faq, or tell you how to.

there's probably several other glade related faq entries that could be
made.

anyone interested in creating faq fodder (entries) or
howto/intro/article/docs etc. let me know, the more the merrier.
