No, it doesn't use UIManager at all. I don't use libglade to define my menus and toolbars. A future version of GTK+ will contain a libglade-like API, which will replace libglade (libglade will continue to work too). At the moment it is called GtkBuilder. Apparently it will use UIManager directly. [snip] > One other point to note is that the GTK+ developers plan to move > libglade into the core GTK+ library (see > http://live.gnome.org/LibgladeInGtk).

So it looks like I was right > that it's not currently possible to use UIManager with libglade... Ah, I should have read this far. You know this already.
