That would be great.

i just tried that example and it worked.  after seeing that and other
libxml examples, I am beginning to wonder if I am missing a fundamental
point of xml and parsing of xml.  The KeyFile and Windows ini files
let the user load a file then read at random an element like this
outstring = mykey->get_string("BUTTONS", "text94");
All of the xml examples I found just read the entire file and print
the results.  Do the xml methods not really support the random
access as does the Glib::KeyFile::get_string ?  If I wish to do random
access with xml, do I have to read the entire file as do the examples
and then make a find function that looks for a specific key/value?
