> Re-arranging objects within the UI file Yes this is awful, just awful for tracking your gtk ui in source control systems. I have no idea whether anyone has seriously tried to address this. Reading the comments, it seems glade is not a core part of Gtk/gnome (news to me, as an outsider) and that there's no alternative besides hand-editing xml files. wow. (My experience: I wrote and maintained for about 18 years a Tcl/Tk-based UI builder program which was used to maintain 100s of dialogs within a large engineering application. This is not fun, there were many things it had trouble representing, but for me a core consideration was always to generate small diffs, and that reloading and saving a file was always idempotent, as long as the tool wrote it in the first place. Others will have different considerations in their tooling.)
