Re: Reading Gtk-Builder files:

[John Darrington]

I also did some experiments and got similar results.  I think there
may be some C code changes necessary, to  undo some work-arounds that
were previously necessary.    

But I agree that a piecemeal transition to a .glade-less source tree
is probably the best approach.   And yes, psppire.glade could certainly
do with being subdivided.

     I did a few experiments tonight:
     
             * The Glade integration seems to work fine with Glade
               3.6.7, except that PSPP's "make install" installed the
               PSPPIRE widget icons under the wrong directory and with
               the wrong names.  Once I moved them and renamed them,
               Glade showed the icons (and the widgets) fine.
     
             * Glade seems OK at converting .glade files into .ui
               files, by using File|Open to open the .glade file and
               then File|Save As to save the corresponding .ui file.
     
             * Some of the output .ui files still caused libglade
               failures (and typically segfaults) at runtime because
               the Glade program doesn't care about duplicate ids but
               libglade refuses to load files with duplicate ids, so I
               spent quite a bit of time eliminating duplicates by
               hand.
     
             * The Compute dialog box makes the Glade program
               segfault.  I ended up having to just delete it.  I
               don't know why Glade doesn't like it.
     
             * The GtkBuilder output produced by Glade 3.6.7 seemed to
               work just fine at runtime, as long as there were no
               duplicate IDs.
     
     All in all the idea of switching to .ui files in the source tree
     seems fairly feasible.  Perhaps we can do it a few files at a
     time if necessary.  This might also be a good time to break
     psppire.glade into multiple files.
