I'll take that at least for the time being, because glade3 on F-12 (glade3-3.6.7-2.fc12.x86_64) e.g. doesn't correctly understand my legacy glade2 files. - I've not found any open bugs for it, so I don't expect too much work ;-). - I understand that upstream is working on glade3 and ignoring glade2, but this tool needs to stay until glade3 properly understands legacy glade2-generated files, doesn't have obvious problems like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=519426 "Wrong orientation default for VBox". AFAIK this is essential so that people can sensibly convert their existing glade projects to gtkbuilder. Having to do UIs from scratch is not a viable option. If there are other, more robust glade2 to gtkbuilder converters I'd like to know about it. - The current F-12 version spits out meters of warnings on the command line, without even loading a file. - How quick we can expect fixes in glade3 is a good question, the last upstream version 3.6.7 is from June 09. The aforementioned BZ ticket is open since August 09 without maintainer reaction, it seems that the maintainer has changed in the meantime, I've reassigned the bug to the current BZ maintainer. - If so desired, I'll put a warning in the glade2 package and issue and update so that people don't use it for new projects. - I know that we want people to convert their stuff to GtkBuilder and that glade2 living longer doesn't help with that. As long as glade3 has these problems, projects which have legacy glade files need to somehow stay afloat. Feel free to comment.
