Hmmm. I was thinking of checking names are unique project-wide.
If we start supporting rc files name clashes in a project may cause problems.
Actually, now I think about it, we may be able to support that.
I was thinking of using things like this in the rc file:
widget "*.mybutton1" style "mystyle"
But we could use something like:
widget "mywindow1*.mybutton1" style "mystyle"
Also, cut & paste currently expect unique project-wide names, but we could let
the user sort any problems out with that.

OK. I'll add those 2 (they were the same 2 you had in your patch.)

I think that is a slightly different issue. I was thinking of code in Glade which
assumes that properties have fixed default values. e.g. Glade only outputs
gtk_container_set_border_width() when the border width is not 0, but this is
actually incorrect for some widgets, usually widgets which are automatically
created.

This is one thing I changed in 0.5.10. When labels are added to tables they are
now set to GTK_FILL and left-aligned. (It was annoying me as well!)
