Glade questions and other stuff



About GLADE :
    I have been playing around with glade and I think is excellent piece
of software !.
I also believe it is a great idea to use it not only on drgenius but on
any project.

But I have some questions that you can help me clarify :
1.) If I open the "drgenius.glade" file in glade and save it without
making ANY changes
everything compiles as normal. The only "diff" I get is in a ".backup"
file created ( which makes
sense ).

_BUT_ if I change a small cosmetic thing, for example I changed the
string : "Save multiple files"
to "Save multiple files xyz" and then build the project, then after I
compile drgenius I get an error message during compilation.

After playing with it for a while I found out that if I disable the
option "Output Build File" that is under the "C Options" tab, drgenius
compiles and runs OK, I can also see the changed string when I run the
program. When this option was selected some build files where created on
the glade directory which is why I disabled this option. The only thing
that I can think of is that the glade version used to create this file
is not the same as the one I am using. I am using  version 0.5.5.

Can someone clarify this to me please ?

NOTE :
I am compiling with the following command. Is this correct ?
"./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/lib/var
&& \
make && make install && ldconfig"

BTW: Using Red Hat 6.1.

2.) It seems to me that it is intended to have ONLY one calculator
window. Shouldn't the button that opens the calculator window read
"Calculator" instead of "New Calculator". And the pop-up help
"Create a New Calculator"  read "Open Calculator Window" ??

3.) In the calculator : the function "Kernel" does not seem to
work for my system. AND "Kernel(1)" gives me a SEGFAUL ??
Should we disable this function for now ?

4.) BUG ?
If you click more than one time on top of the "New Canvas"
button ( say three times ), you open several canvas toolboxes.

5.) Who is the official drgenius maintainer ? who should I send
my code changes to ?

6.) Whish list  : It will be great to have a "Close all" option on the
menu.

THANKS
