Preference Window

[Hilaire Fernandes <hilaire@seul.org>]

We use for all coming GUI - as much as possibe - the Glade builder and
libglade to build the widget from the .glade file.  Using this make
the GUI independant of the code and is better for maintenance of the
GUI without the need to rechange the code.  So use *exclusively* it to
build the preference dialog.  Glade is there : http:/glade.pn.org

I think - at least for figure view - that setting could be set
globaly - for exemple: for each figure view - individually - for only
one figure view.

About personnal presentation, i'm french & math teacher in high school
and never approach anthing close to maple or m10a ;) but i use to love
cabri geometer but disappointed it's expensive.
