As far as I understand, when most of those projects first shipped, the C files really were the source. It is true that the C files were initially generated by glade, but they were then subsequently modified by hand. Having the original .glade file would mean that you could re-generate the C sources, but then all your manual modifications to them were lost. As a result, the hand-modified C files were the preferred form of modification. Indeed, some people did not ever save the .glade file, they just used glade to generate a skeleton application. (This has been said already, but bears repeating: All right-thinking developers switched to not generating code from glade, but load the .glade file at application run time instead, originally using libglade, but that's now been incorporated into gtk proper.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
