I've written a couple of short programmes in PyGtk using Glade (a data
entry form for sailboat racing and the obligatory minesweeper clone) and
am looking forward to trying Glade 3.  Glade 2 (no wx --- the one
written in c) is a pig.  It does the graphical layout quite well but the
lack of an undo makes it very time-consuming to use for anything but the
smallest projects.  Glade 3 adds an undo and was released in March.

Recently my pygtk/libglade programmes broke.  With libglade you need to
find the glade file yourself, there is no search path.  The latest
stable version of pygtk on debian mangles your sys.path so the first
entry no longer points to the programme's directory.  If you like to
keep your code all in one place you have to pull out the directory
before you import pygtk or unmangle sys.path yourself.  Relying on
sys.path[0] isn't very portable but beats having to reinstall your code
every time you edit it.
