Hello all!

I am not against the proposed patches, just curious.
I am the maintainer of freebsd port for gtkdatabox
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=gtkdatabox&stype=all)
and I have no problems with gtkdatabox-0.9.0.0 and gtk-2.12.11:

and no warning or error messages. In which gtk version is GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC
deprecated? In gtk-2.14.x? Well, the timestamps for these distros on gtk ftp
are 04-Sep-2008 and 05-Sep-2008, that is, yesterday and today...

And if we are going so far (I mean the latest releases of gtk) I have
another question.
Since gtk-2.12.x there is an interface called "Interface builder".
(http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/GtkBuilder.html)
The idea is that you define your GUI in the xml file and leave the
*.c program itself only for callback functions and actual "meat" code.
I am not familiar with libglade but believe that it is something similar.
As "Interface builder" is integrated into gtk I find it more favorable
than libglade/glade.
Are there any plans of supporting this interface in gtkdatabox?

Thanks,
Alexey.
