An interesting consequence of qemu testing of the Gtk2/Libglade client is that the default desktop is 1024x768. It becomes dreadfully obvious that the default layouts at 1200x1000 are difficult to downsize when you can't get the grab handles on your workspace.
It got me thinking. I haven't though this out entirely, but it strikes me that it would be interesting to have a "hidden" widget in the design that is used simply to store data in the layout. 1) Right now, the layout does not contain any information about its identity - not even it's name. It might be nice if it did. 2) With such a construct, perhaps a designer could have plausible screen defaults for 1024x768 embedded as data, but the default size might be for a different screen size, and then the GUI could have an option to set a minimum-size layout. Perhaps this would be better than having to have layouts designed specifically for 1024x768. 3) The glade layout file does not have any information about the author, license, etc. With a hidden data widget, perhaps this could be changed. If anyone happens to have any add-on thoughts about this, feel free to comment.
