[Gtk-sharp-list] Glade# Pixmap Resource

[Rafael Teixeira]

I didn't look if glade# mostly wraps libglade. If so I would first
rewrite glade#, in fully managed code (it seems easy) so to redefine
the xml to contain new semantics and representations for embedded
resources. That kind of thing cannot be added in libglade as it is
CLI-specific. That would put Glade# (we probably would need a new
name) between what we have in WinForms and the XAML future.

The main cost would be to have a new designer for working with the xml
and embbedding support, but we need it for MonoDevelop and for Windows
development already.

Just some rough ideas... 

The ball is rolling, let's discuss.

Fun,
