[Glade-users] Use GtkBuilder or libGlade in new codes?

[email at micahcarrick.com (Micah Carrick)]

Actually, along those lines...

I just started using GtkBuilder and for the most part, it's the same 
thing. The one extra step of running the conversion script isn't so bad 
as I just add it to the build process during development.

However, if I'm not mistaking, there is no replacement for 
glade_xml_signal_connect_data() and instead I have to write my own 
function to handle signal connections when I have different user_data 
for various callbacks which are not objects found within the UI file 
itself. Is this correct?
