     No solid plans for that in the making, it would be nice
if you could arrange the glade-3 UI in whatever way is
comfortable for the user... Maybe we could have a setup
where each project is viewed in a seperate tab...

I just wonder how to achieve this with GTK+ (I'm thinking
of how QT Designer allows you to drag your toplevels inside
a desktop inside a notebook tab :-/ )

I dont have any objections, just other priorities to focus
on, sooo... if someone feels like looking into that ...

Cheers,
