[Glade-users] sliders and spinners

[Tristan Van Berkom]

You should be looking at GTK+ documentation, not Glade documentation.

However for the latter, I agree we should have a user manual, but it's
both a lot of work and a moving target.

If you at least install the DevHelp program, and have the doc packages
for GTK+ installed, then Glade will enable some documentation
features at runtime (you wont see documentation actually in glade, but
there will be some added icons and menu options to show the
related documentation in the DevHelp docs browser).

Cheers,
    -Tristan
