Peyman,
   There are a number of things we can do in Glade to make GTK+
easier to use - the fact is though no matter how well we do - the
users of Glade need to have an understanding of the underlying
toolkit GTK+.

The best we can do as far as I can see is try to provide good links
to GTK+ documentation from inside the tool and write good tutorials
or even a user manual about designing GTK+ interfaces with Glade.

A huge problem is that there just isnt enough documentation,
manuals and tutorials out there about using the Glade/GTK+
combination.

Cheers,
      -Tristan
