Re: [orca-list] Glade interface designer

[Jon <j orcauser googlemail com>]

Hi,

Unfortunately, as you have found, it is quite hard/virtually impossible 
to use glade as a blind designer.

One could write the python (or any other language for that matter) code 
to create the gtk widgets and connect things up (i.e. the same way as 
before glade was made available), but this is long winded and requires 
time.
So far, i have been finding glade xml files, and searching for widgets 
then copying the chosen widgets and modifying these to suit my needs to be a 
quicker process, despite the trial and error.

There are several glade-3 related accessibility bugs open, and the more 
people comment and request these to be looked at, the hopefully sooner 
they will get some attension.
I havent tried the svn/cvs (dont know which) latest version, so don't 
know if it has improved.
