Howdy,
I thought I'd post about the current state of inkscape_gtkmm.
Here's a screenshot I just made showing off a few things (check it out before reading on): http://thestraycat.org/~derekm/inkscape/inkscape_gtkmm.png
The Trace, Transform, and About dialogs in that screenshot are using libglademm and their XML specification in share/ui/glade/dialogs.glade to do most of the work.
If you'd like to help make/improve dialogs for the Gtkmm conversion effort, fetch:

I have a few different prototypes for the Trace dialog. They are: http://thestraycat.org/~derekm/inkscape/Trace.png http://thestraycat.org/~derekm/inkscape/Trace2.png http://thestraycat.org/~derekm/inkscape/Trace3.png
Which one is best? I tend to think probably Trace3.png.
The "Inkscape Preferences" dialog shown in the screenshot is unfinished (many of its pages are blank) and doesn't use Glade. I'm just showing it to emphasize the current state of things.
Hi Derek! I say dialog numer three. I know I was the one suggesting tabs in the first place, but then I got a good nights sleep on in and changed my mind. I belive tabs somewhat gives the illusion that one can use both single- and multicolor at the same time. Just as one can select both the color for stroke and fill at the same time. A radiobutton where you choose between single and multi and then settings under each one of them. I saw someone suggesting this before. Here is a quick mockup: http://ramnet.se/~nisse/diverse/temp/anothertracedialog.png Some other stuff that have been suggested happened to be included. - Andreas
