Happy New Year :)

Please write to glade-users at lists.ximian.com instead of emailing me
directly in the future, it really helps to have this kind of
discussion documented.

sounds like it should work, but try grouping all radiobutton[2-n] to
radiobutton1,
this is how I've known it to work in the past (things could get hairy
sometimes when
you reorder your radio buttons, since these values are usually set
during the xml parse
serially at load time)... feel free to file an enhancement bug to
remind us to do
radio buttons better.. please :)

3.5.x devel release has 2 crashers I know about, one when pressing
enter in some
combination in the signal editor (in bugzilla), the other is
copy/paste across projects,
which I have to fix this week some time... 3.5 will make a big
difference, it will give you
GtkBuilder, but not change radio button handling.

Cheers,
