Glade can be used to check how it looks and to get an idea about widget tree. Actually, that's how I've used glade-w in the application I'm developing, i.e. I used for quick visual prototyping, and then enhanced and coded the application from scratch. Glade is not good for repetitive items - it doesn't know how to generate a loop - that was one of my concerns. So I wouldn't have very high expectations wrt glade. FWIW, I suggest to also have a look at http://www.exit1.org/Gtk2-Ex-FormFactory/ . --Sergei.
