[gtkmm] libglade for gtkmm

[Sarah Leitner <sm_leitner yahoo com>]

To all,

Thanks for Murray's response to my question. However,
I have another question. I have to have a general
"container" structure for all of the developers to put
their pages in. I am assuming that each developer can
put their own page into my "container".  This means
that their are several XML documents being used, as
well as non-XML code. Will this all work together?

Sincerely,

Sarah Leitner

IDL (Interface Definition Language) is used by CORBA.
And COM too.

I think you could just dynamically check the widgets
as they are loaded
from a libglade file. libglademm already does some
dynamic_cast<> 
checks
for instance, and Bakery::ConfClient and
Bakery::VariablesMap does
specific things to specific types of widgets.

No, it's not beta. libglade is in heavy use throughout
GNOME. 
libglademm
exists and seems to work too.

See above.
