Putzing around with it, I've got it working to my satisfaction --almost. I need to figure out how to get Glade to stop cacheing the widgets. For example, if I run the script, then edit the glade file, then run the script again, the second iteration doesn't see the changes I've made. Anyone know how to turn off the caching in GladeXML? If I suck in the file as a buffer, then pass the buffer to GladeXML, will that defeat the caching (ie. is the cache filename based?) Alternatively, a method to make the widget popup over the main app would be good, and $window->present doesn't seem to work in this case. > > I’m not sure how to make it pop over the app window – there’s > possibly a method to make it go to the front, though.
