Hi,
I am far from being an GUI designer guru, but your idea brought me some
thoughts:
1 - using a rubberband selection may tell the user that she can select more
than one widget. I think it is not possible by now with glade. And even if
it is possible, multi-selection of widgets is not very useful on GUI
editing. Generally it is confusing and the expected results are ambiguous
(except from deleting). Another thing: how do you will select hidden widgets
like menuitems and expander children?
2 - doing it with an transparent window is really possible? And what about
portability? Could this affect non-X11 users?
3 - instead of multi-selecting, think of a simple but smart GUI editing.
Look at gazpacho, context sensitive menus. I think that this kind of
approach is much interesting and should be more explored.
4 - what about more druids. There could be druids for repetitive actions
like creating actions/groups, menus, toolbars...
