In case I made the wrong impression, I do not feel strongly about
having the workspace update on double-click in 3.4, it was my
original intention but I think most will agree the direct selection
update is better, regardless of the presence of the search entry.

I really dont have time to help you maintain a downstream patch,
honestly because I have hardly enough time to keep up with 3.6
(I barely pushed out 3.6.1 and still have one or two serious bugs
to fix), but the backporting should be a simple matter of calling
glade_widget_show() from glade-inspector.c, but you may
have some hoops to jump through (not sure, the cases in glade_widget_show()
have changed a few times...)
