Hi, 
      GtkComboBox IMO is a good idea (it will save the user significant screen
realestate), we might want to converge to a glade-2 style palette for the
same reason. Code-cleanup is also welcome ofcourse (there is still much 
cleanup to be done). 

About the "Cancel" button in the query popup, implementation looks
sound to me, although I didn't look at the patch in depth yet.

About using the GladeCommand interface inside the generic Query popup, 
yes that is definitly a bug but I think the "from_query_dialog" code should
stay in glade-editor.c, if there is not need for an undo; then we should
skip the middle-man and jump directly to glade_property_set().

Finally, please send patches to bugzilla; I find it alot easier to
track that way (nothing gets lost that way and I can always identify
which is the latest version of your patch).

I'll review the patch[es] monday or maybe tomorow, things might get
a little rocky this week since I'll be integrating the libglade branch,
so If your patch gets applied first; I might ask you to review the merge 
afterwards ;-)

Cheers,
                                                         -Tristan
