[Glade-devel] [glade3, patch] load library module before calling *_get_type ()

[bighead@users.sourceforge.net]

Hey

btw, another thing is, rather than create a libgladefoo for customisations
which can't be done in the lib's catalog .xml file, it would be nice, if
in the case it was the original lib's fault, submit patches to them to behave
nicely.

Point being libglade<foo> should only be used in extreme cases. 

Cheers...
