OK. I guess I quite agree with you on the first point and weakly agree
with you on the second. I was thinking along the lines that moving the
panel is more of an action than an option but the dialog may be more
appropriate after all. Watch this space.

Another point I forgot to bring up is that the build depends on libtool
to make sure functions are exported for glade to automatically connect
signal handlers. Most projects bundle a libtool script with the tarball
but there doesn't seem to be an easy and reliable way to do that in a
project such as rox-filer that doesn't also use automake. I can connect
each signal handler in my code instead of asking glade to do it if this
libtool dependency is likely to be unpopular or troublesome.
