Hub,
there were discussions in #abiword before you introduced that stuff.
And people have expressed their reservations. I reiterate that IMO the
one size fits all header abstraction with switch of behaviour at
runtime depending on the class of the wrapped widget is a rather
limited approach. Also at the current rate of one new dialog every few
months I can hardly see the new framework taking over evolutionarily.
Regarding rewriting working dialogs just to save a few lines of code,
hmm, kudos if you can motivate anyone to do that.
That said i'd very much favour a i18n solution for AbiWord which
allows the use of the default strings in glade instead of "%s" (i18n
accounts for a bulk of boilerplate code). Maybe when the planets align
...
Best,
Rob
