Why is that? I'm just curious if there is a specific problem with glade
that makes you not want to use it.

For the GUI design that I've done, I've found it useful to have a very
clear separation between the portion of the code doing gui layout, and
all of the hooks behind it.

Not that this can't be done with both of them being in python. Just that
I've found the GUI Developer tools for something like glade (wxGlade?)
to be a lot nicer than trying to do it by hand.

Sounds like a nice set of updates, though.
