Does the phrase "total rework of the entire user interface" sound appealing? I think not, not when we're aiming to stabilize for 1.0 eventually. GtkUIManager seems like it is a straightforward change of an already fairly systematic part of Dia. And even that I have at fairly low priority, bug fixes and my short list of features way higher. Changing a half-dozen hand-crafted and carefully debugged UI designs into autogenerated stuff is no easy task. We've had one part already generated by Glade, and it wasn't bugfree, far from it. -Lars _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia
