it's great that GladeXML is getting used, but someone that knows more
about libglade(xml) should really take a look at the guts of it. i'm
actually surprised that the custom widget stuff is working as i had no
real idea what i was doing when i worked on it. it's a pretty heavy
port/copy of what was in gtk-perl, but it had/has some issues that i
tried to resolve, apparently i did better than i thought. 

Gtk2::GladeXML is at 0.9x now and will remain so until someone with a
deeper knowledge of things steps up and takes a look. apparently it can
be used as it seems a good number of people on the list are using it. i
never have myself which is probably why i know little about it.

that's actually one of the things i thought would be the coolest about
GladeXML. i'm glade someone has tried it.
