Yeah, I know that. One of my concerns of using Gazpacho is that one of its 
goals is to be 100% libglade compatible. This is very hard to do if we could 
not propose changes to the libglade project.

The libglade library is currently limited and even Gazpacho is having 
problems with it. I think this is very serious and I think we need to do 
something quickly.

A possible solution is to decouple from Glade the responsibility to have his 
loader to be the default one. It should part of the GTK project to have a 
dynamic XML loader (gtk.loader) and *not* the glade format. As so, we could 
have as many GUI builders as we want. But people insist to use Glade, and 
sometimes do not use nice features of GTK because glade do not expose them. 

Beside that, we need modern GUI builder that could easily be extended with 
new widgets. I think Gazpacho is going thru this direction.


Having said that I recommend you to take a look at the tests directory

I tryied to run the test but it is complaining about a
gazpacho.unittestmodule that don't exist.

I will continue to study Gazpacho and show later some results that I had.
