Because I suck at glade

To port apps that don't use libglade to GtkBuilder, the easiest way is to start from scratch in a glade-3 window. But because I suck at glade, I posted a patch to gtk-parasite to dump a whole widget tree into a GtkBuilder UI file.

It works well enough for me to do half the work of porting the bluetooth-properties to GtkBuilder.

No excuses now.

Recent versions of glade worked wonderfully for me when converting some big awkward .glade files to GtkBuilder format. Earlier versions not so much.

Murray: that doesn't help when the app doesn't use glade in the first place...

OH MY GOD THANK YOU!!!

I needed to port an app to use Glade. This will definitely help.

(also, this is the first time I've used all caps in an Internet message. This is wonderful!)
