[Glade-users] help with glade-3 and GNOME/bonobo widgets

[Tristan Van Berkom]

Hi,
    Firstly please file a bug so we can track it.

libgnomeui/bonobo support in glade was added minimalisticly and
with low priority (we had to release a full support so people could still
use glade with old projects that unfortunately still have those
widgets and libs in use). In these past few years I still dont think we had
a bug report for what your describing...

I'd be willing to review a patch for your afore mentioned context menu
action, should be straight forward now we have a framework for it.

Short of fixing glade I can only suggest that you import a gnomeapp
created by glade2 and see how that fairs.

Cheers,
                 -Tristan
