[Mono-list] Widgets (not Gtk.Window) with Glade?

[Arx Cruz]

I think you want is create your widget in glade, and deattach this
from the top window and put in another container right?
if this is what you want, you can do it. monodevelop make this all
time. you get the top level window, get his children, unparent this
and destroy the top lvl window. then you have your children ready to
attach in other container.
im under windows now, so i dont know the code to do this, but take a
look in monodevelop, if im not mistaked, the class to do this is
GladeExtract.

and sorry my english
