Is this custom XML or the standard UI XML other Gtk Applications are using?
I think it's the GTK+ standard stuff.
Good to hear.
As we move forwards, I'd want to get to custom XML.
Not so good but ...
The standard UI XML for GTK+ is approaching the problem from the complete opposite direction of what we need (presentation vs. information, physical vs logical, etc) and actually complicates things.
... that sounds highly illogical.
Maybe it is unintentional and if you mention it to the Gtk+ developers and propose things they will listen. Does take a terribly long time for their changes to reach the desktop where you can depend on them though.
However... it might be that we end up with some logical XML markup and then translate parts of that to physical XML and pass it on into the existing GTK+ manager.
Sounds plausible. I expect it will work out well somehow.
