Hmmm, do you think this bug is related:
   http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=310143 ?

For some reason, I havent got a dynamic GtkRadioMenuIem group
to function properly.

Hmmm, maybe the logic around glade_widget_retrieve_from_position(); is
borked, just a hunch...

I think that we just need to implement "filename" properties better;
we should have a filechooser button for them... we'll just need to
give it a little thought as to where the file is to be retrieved
by glade-3/Anjuta and where it is to be retrieved by libglade/gtk+.

One other thing I noticed is that GtkImage "type" doesn't seem to be
resolved properly on the load :
(i.e. type = filename || icon theme || stock )

I wonder if I broke that while writing glade-editor-property.c or
maybe you broke it with "GtkImage loading fixes", I'll let you know
after taking a look at the code :-/

I dont think I follow; when I have one project open (with a selected
widget) and I load a second project; the selected widget is cleared
and I have nothing in the property editor.

Ok, the code should be protected from those crashes; and arguably,
the save/undo/redo buttons should be insensitive when no projects
are loaded.

I'll try to get a fix in today; if I dont have time I'll bugzilla it.

The graphist here at touchtunes has been experiencing similar problems;
but he says that sometimes glade-3 crashes when using left-click
selection on the widgets, he always uses right-click "select" via
the widget tree to avoid crashes. (since we're using a custom toolkit
plugin and the tool is running large/complex projects for long periods
of time and I cant get any steps to reproduce it, its not in bugzilla)

It would be great if you could find out a way to reproduce the crash
consistantly :-/

I'll take a closer look at the actual patch and probably get it into
cvs later on today.

Cheers,
