Is this custom XML or the standard UI XML other Gtk Applications are using?
I think it's the GTK+ standard stuff. As we move forwards, I'd want to get to custom XML.
No, actually it's custom. It is a little bit simpler than the GTK+ stuff, which seemed like overkill for what we're doing here.
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.
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.
I think that all the menus.xml file is really doing is providing a menu list, which is entirely display. I think it keeps a good separation between the functionality and the layout, this file is entirely layout. Perhaps I'm not understanding what you're saying.
