Hello,

I have a project that is not related to LinuxCNC, but looks like it is
closely aligned with Glade and maybe Python.  I hope list member
son;t mind the digression.

I have built some control GUIs in the past with Tk/Tcl linked
to C++ programs with swig.  These were purely control, they
never did anything on their own, only responding to keyboard
or mouse clicks.

This one needs to show the state of a device and update automatically.
I think the Tk/Tcl mode of doing things doesn't work well in this case,
but it looks to be more in line with Glade and maybe Python.
I have glade 2.12 on my desktop, but that appears to be totally ancient.
I got glade 3.6 on another system, and managed to create a simple
GUI and find the XML file, but haven't figured out what to do with it.
I need to interface the XML to a c program running on a BeagleBoard,
but if Python makes interfacing this to a web server easy, then that
might be fine.  There needs to be a c program because it is taking direct
control over OMAP GPIO hardware at the register level.

So, any suggestions on what programs to use, what methods might be 
appropriate
to tie this all together, and any tutorials that are really helpful 
would be greatly
appreciated.  The glade "tutorial" seems to be a blog with somewhat useful
info for the already partly-up-to-speed coder, but is not much help at 
the state I
am at right now.

Thanks much for any pointers!

Jon
