Looking up widgets with libglade is just a simple dictionary lookup, so it
shouldn't be a speed problem.

Go to the basic page of the properties dialog in glade, and select the

I have considered writing such a program to help use libglade with C, but
never got around to doing it. I don't believe there is such a program for
