xournal already depends on gnome (gnomecanvas and gnomeprint), so I don't think
it's a problem to use gnome widgets.

You want to use glade-2.  Glade 3 is a major rewrite that uses an xml file to
build the interface at runtime, while Glade 2 generates C code for the
interface.  They're not interchangeable.

When you hit build it will generate src/xo-interface.{ch} and src/xo-support.h.
If you add a toolbar widget there will be a new empty function definition in
xo-callbacks.{ch} (I think) which you will need to edit.

Also on the poppler comment you made, use 'patch -p1' when applying this patch,
in the xournal directory (rather than making xournal-test and xournal-poppler
which are the names of directories on my computer).  I usually add --dry-run to
the patch command line the first time, to make sure it's doing the right thing.
Then remove it to actually apply the patch.

And why am I the only one that can tell that in 0.4.2.1 pdf's are fuzzy?!??!
