     Yes, I found out a few days ago that this has been filed as a
     GTK+ bug:
             http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=574520
     
     I am told that the latest release of glade-3 can work with proper
     .ui files directly, without the need for gtk-builder-convert.
     The only barrier there is that we need to ensure that the PSPP
     developers have ready access to that version of glade-3.  John,
     do you?  I have it installed here now.

I installed it last night and had a quick play around with it.   There are
a number of things we will need to check before we can dispense completely
with .glade files:

1.  I don't know if the new glade version works properly with all the custom
    widgets that we have.  Such as psppire-keypad psppire-dictview etc.

2.  Last time I checked, xgettext was incapable of extracting the translatable
    strings from .ui files.  If we don't get that working, then half of the
    GUI won't get translated.
