[gtkada] gate model

[Julio Angel Cano Romero]

Hi again.

>> A few days ago I wrote a message about a gate (gtkada) bug. The problem seems to be that I use glade-gnome and even deactivating gnome support gate is unable to generate code using these glade-gnome files. Beside that I forgot to say which system I work on:
>> Debian, kernel 2.4.3, gnat 3.13p2 and gtkada 1.2.8

>I haven't experienced this problem. At the moment I use gtkada 1.2.11

unstable: >http://packages.debian.org/unstable/devel/libgtkada1-dev.html

I'll try this.

>But have you tried using a glade without gnome?

I use glade-gnome but i didn't use gnome support nor gnome widgets. But i used glade without gnome installed in another machine and then same example worked.
As i said, deleting de relief button attribute line in glade file makes it to work.

I know i can do this, but in a big project i dont want to go deleting (commenting) all the package variables nor let lot of unused variables "populating"  the project.
So, what i mean is that predefined variable, although makes life easier, is not allways suitable for all cases.
Gtkada itself dont declare a "predefined" variable in any package (gtk.window, gtk.button, ....) so that you have to create yours. Packages created by gate are more "excepcional" and especific but i consider that they should follow the same "politic", so its more "standard" as i see it.
Its just my opinion.

I think i could just modify gate source code for myself to dont generate this line. I think free software is "lovely", isn't it? :)

Bye
Julio
