Personally, I'm not a fan of this but I see the advantage of being able to control different panes without switching back and forth between them. And yes, most application use dialogs for configuration settings. Your preferences dialog doesn't block the rest of GUI, I guess?

Well, I was a little proud of integrating the sub-panes into the navigation tree [GTK2 only] because that's how GTKG's GUI works/worked. GTKG doesn't ride the tabbed wave. I think we should get rid of the navigation tree altogether pretty soon. The only reason it is used is legacy. Do you remember the layout of the original Gnutella? Yes, exactly. While not a bad idea in general, the navigation tree wastes too much space and nobody else uses something like that anyway. The panes should be accessible either through categorized menus and/or toolbar items. > This patch applies to gtk1 and gtk2. If your patch doesn't break anything and adheres to the style guide you apply it (yourself) as soon as possible. The Glade stuff breaks pretty fast if anyone else changes something there. (I guess you could just copy & paste your newly created window, though.) -- Christian
