Well, about XRC. I have worked with GTK+, and I liked to use glade to
build glade files and load them dynamically and autoconnect the
functions to events.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find these characteristics in XRC. It did
not support many widgets, and I felt it was very hard to work with it.
Conclusion: I ended up building the interface by code, or generating
the python code from wxglade. It's a shame, but XRC has some
defficiencies.
