Thank you for all your reply.
It's been really useful.
I am getting really good info about all of it. Not just the "what use to
develop", but also about what technique to use.
For example, I use A LOT of variables to construct a simple dialog, but I
think it will be more sane to use just one or two, as mention by Richard
Boaz. Take a look at this part of my code: (don't mind for the names of the
variables, it's in my local language. And yes, I like to initialize
variables, always. :-) )
/***************************************************************/
GtkWidget*
create_dialog_edit_disciplina_horario(void)
{
GtkWidget *dialog = NULL;
GtkWidget *vbox01 = NULL;
GtkWidget *rotulo_codigo = NULL;
GtkWidget *entrada_codigo = NULL;
GtkWidget *rotulo_nome = NULL;
GtkWidget *entrada_nome = NULL;
GtkWidget *rotulo_ano = NULL;
GtkWidget *spin_ano = NULL;
GtkObject *spin_ano_adj = NULL;
GtkWidget *rotulo_sem = NULL;
GtkWidget *spin_sem = NULL;
GtkObject *spin_sem_adj = NULL;
GtkWidget *rotulo_escolhe_semestre = NULL;
GtkWidget *cbox_escolhe_semestre = NULL;
GtkWidget *arvore_dados = NULL;
GtkTreeStore *armazena = NULL;
GtkWidget *hbox01 = NULL;
GtkWidget *hbox02 = NULL;
GtkWidget *hbox03 = NULL;
GtkWidget *hbox04 = NULL;
GtkWidget *hbox05 = NULL;
[...]

Another good one I think I will use is the reduced number of callbacks.
Every dialog in my code, for example, has its own callback. I think its
going to be more clear if I group all of them at the same one.
And more ideas that I am not going to bother you about.
I am a little excited about the possibilities, I admit. ;-)
Well, getting back to the IDEs (or as mentioned by Tristan Berkom, "User
interface Designer"), I am still thinking about it. I installed the new
version of Glade (was running glade-2, now running glade-3) and took a look
at the libglade. It seems to be a great idea, although I didn't really got
into it. Need more research by myself to understand how to use it.
What I am realizing is that if you want a specific GUI it's more convenient
to do it by hand but, if it's a general one, which will use the standard
widgets at the standard ways, the IDEs (or UIDs) happens to be a very good
idea.
Still a little confuse about what paradigm to use, I confess. But now with
more baggage to make my choice. :-)

If the sort of people who like most of what's out there think your
interface is "awful" then I'd probably think it's really nice. I'm
amazed at how ghastly most GUIs are. But then I think of computers as
tools for doing what I want them to do, not a display case for
avant-garde graphic design, so what would I know?
