I see. I will probably try to arrange my code in a way to make it easy 
to switch between libglade and gate. For now I kind of like libglade and 
thinks its disadvantages are acceptable. I could throw away the gate 
main prodedure, use my own <UI>_mypkg.ads & .adb which  with the 
generated <UI>_pkg's and do my changes only in the <UI>_mypkg files. So 
the difference between using gate and libglade would be calling Gtk_New 
(XML,...) and then getting all the widgets I need from XML  vs. calling 
<UI>_pkg.Gtk_New(Window1). I will see what to do about callbacks.
