This defeats the proposed purposes for using glade. Win32 has RC files to aide in the creation and storage of dialogs, created by DevC. Cocoa has NIB files to aide in the creation and storage of dialogs, created by InterfaceBuilder. I see no difference in using glade on the unix platforms. Further, it is a standard library installed by every Linux distribution. Ideally, using glade will enable us to make prettier, more user-friendly HIG-complaint dialogs with less fuss and more quickly. If this comes at the expense of some user not knowing that his AbiWord is linked against libglade (coz in all likelihood it's already installed) then so be it. It's a trade-off that I'm more than willing and eager to make in order that our product comes off looking more polished and friendly with (potentially significantly) less effort. Adding a 100k library dependancy for these purposes should not be construed as bloat. Dom __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
