Thanks.

The thing about runtime-pluggable extensions for extra widgets doesn't sound
different than what glade-2 does, but I don't know the system very well.

If nobody steps us to help with TODO items, it might help to suggested where
in the code people might start hacking. Is the menu editing just a bit
broken or does it need a complete rewrite?

It intalls in parallel with glade-2 so I don't think it's any problem if
it's useless. By making a release you show more people that it needs their
help and you show more people that it's near-enough finished that their help
can take it that last few steps to being usable.
