Hello Michael,

I have mixed feelings about this, but libglade2 is only little more than
100kB and this would only affect default unix (with or without gnome)
builds, and not the hugeness of XUL or wxWindow, which have other aims.

It would significantly ease the development of dialogues on this side of
the field for only one more small library.
It probably could mean a significant decrease in size of AbiWord on
unix.

However, IIRC, some of the dialogues are abstracted from architecture
which probably wouldn't be easy to maintain, and that would seem to be a
major reason not to use libglade2.

Or am I utterly wrong?
