[Shotwell] Glade or handcraft?

[Adam Dingle]

Bengt,

we're currently moving toward using Glade for all dialogs in Shotwell.  
The situation you described, where a patch was reviewed after 3-6 
months, would be very unusual in Shotwell; we've always reviewed all 
patches within a couple of days.  If large Glade merges become a 
practical problem in the future we could possibly reconsider this, but 
for the moment we're happy with Glade, and as Vadim pointed out it has 
significant benefits.
