I haven't used UI interface tools in decades, and the act of
interfacing them to the actual code used to be so horrible as to
negate any advantage. But if things have improved since (and they
almost would *have* to), and the tools don't limit layout too much, we
certainly should try it.

Anybody with any experience with glade and GtkBuilder?
