So, I may be missing something, but I really don't understand why you gtkmm guys do this --new-gui thing instead of just converting the existing desktop widget-by-widget.
You just hit on one of the key things I've been trying to convey.
Gtkmm-ification is not so much a step or a item, but rather should just be an aspect of other work.
And to help in converting widget-by-widget, we can work on cleaning up the interfaces. As we do that, it makes pieces more independent and easier to switch out widget-by-widget.
