Thank you for the info Biswapesh! In theory we use the same output, but in fact, it's a whole different implementation, so I'm expecting bugs to surface in the reading & writting of glade files. I fixed some of them before, but I've not yet done extensive tests, so I guess that there are still bugs. Bas, can you send me a copy of your glade file? I will take a look at it. Cheers,
