You may be thinking that I could use Linux at work, but that isn't an option.  My work development environment is Solaris.  If I want to use glade to develop the UI, I need to get it running there.

I've heard of GtkBuilder, and I knew that the final application used libglade.  I thought that the libglade level might give us an idea of just how capable (or incapable) this particular gnome environment is.

Perhaps that points up the real question, seeing that I need to run glade on the same platform that I'm developing for: what version of glade will run on my version of gnome.  gnome-panel --version says 2.6.1
