Hello Jacques, It is not so clear to me that a Glade GUI builder is so easy to deal with for beginners. My experience with Glade is that was very easy to pack widgets and in a few minutes got a form. But dealing with callbacks is a very different story. The first problem for a novice is to choose the apropriate signal events (= dive into GTK & GDK docs for a long time) and fill them with usefull code in order to get the app work right. I could use LablGtk rapidly only because my prior background gained from working with GTK, but surely it was very painfull at the beginning (Gtk). Also Glade as it was designed to be used with C (in spite its portable XML output) is much more low level than LablGtk, and I don't know if this XML output is suited to build a high level callback interface (it seems me not) 'a la par' of LablGtk. Also when you get some skill with LablGtk is not a big issue designing pretty interfaces and it don't take so much time and gain a lot of flexibility that is not available cleanly with Glade callback 'static model'.
