Yes, I read that something like twelve times - I just assumed I was
missing something - because, ugh... that diminishes the value of a GUI
builder. It seems the advice should then be to place each window /
entity in a separate Glade file. [If two entities in a Glade file have
a handler of the same name... where does it get bound to? This really
seems non-intuitive].
