I want to second this request, in the OpenSource application for machine
tools MatPLC (http://mat.sf.net) for the Human Machine Interface creator we
use glade but we encode the information to link the widget to the IO (Input
Output point) in the widgets name wich is cumbersome and a limited solution.
Our application will also benefit if we could store something like
properties for the widgets in the form of name and value both as character
strings.
