Is it possible to extend glade such that each widget can have  a
"conditional" property  such, say, a widget is only shown if the local
is "en.US".   While it is doable to implement this in the code, it
would be more flexible to have a standard glade functionality for some
condition-controlled realization of widgets at load time. Being XML,
such condition should be expressible in the glade files.

(Maybe this is more of a developer question than a user question)
