Thats an interesting idea, I'm sure a simple program could be used to parse signals in a glade file and ensure the availability of the said callbacks in the binary - this kind of tool could be used in makefiles to validate a built program, maybe we could take something like this to intltool ? (you could bring this up on glade-devel@ximian.com if you want... there's propably a gnome intltools list too...) >> This is the second google hit for 'libglade', you should try >> the "GladeXML" section (which is the one that concerns you) >> http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/libglade/libglade.html > > I had seen this one.

Some things are the way they are - and wont improve untill someone who cares about those particular things sends a patch, I'm sure James Henstrige wouldnt refuse that simple kind of patch... >> I think we need a little more trust on this front, if the user >> is tampering with the system, its not a valid bug report/use case. > > > That's a political discussion ;-) Ugh - I give up here, I dont see why you are arguing that an application distributor should support a situation where the user tampered with the software (yes, the xml glade file that you distributed with the app is "part of the software") - this is not political at all.
