Ha, I suppose that should convince me! :)

If someone's interested and has time, it would be useful to start
putting together some GPE guidelines on how we should be using libglade
- there are presumably other documents to link to which describe the
underlying mechanisms, but it would be nice if we could find the 'right'
way to deal with e.g. changing interface orientation on rotation (if
there are any cases when the same interface just won't fit both ways).
