I can take a stab at it - I'm interested in picking up more Gtk+. Does it
make more sense for each option to provide access functions that other options
can use to enable/disable it, or perhaps just have those other options
disable the affected option "by name" ("Section" + "Option name", etc.)?
Access functions would be better encapsulation, but on the other hand it
would be a lot of overhead to provide that ability for every prefs option that
exists, since enabling/disabling won't be needed for 95% of the prefs. I'm
thinking of something like:
gnc_set_option_selectable( "General",
"Auto Decimal Point Range",
GNC_F );
in the spirit of gnc_lookup_boolean_option. What really gets changed is the
"sensitive" property of the widget that is connected to "Automatic Decimal
Point".
