Was the 9.04 one in LibGlade or GtkBuilder format?

Hi brijith,

After switching to 9.10, I got similar problem.
Have you found any solution?

Thanks for you help

I had the same problem but it's not a big deal, it's just a couple of vbox that turn into hbox or vice versa.

It takes less than one minute: find the vbox/hbox that behaves bad and change the parameter ORIENTATION (tab general, from horizontal to vertical or vice versa) you'll see everything gets fixed.

Once you fix it, if you open again with an older glade it will be still good... you will not need to change again the orientation.

That's exactly the problem, thanks giuspen. All vertical type widgets (VBox, VPane, VScrollbar, etc) are assumed to be horizontal when <property name="orientation"> is not included in the source of the glade file, which seems to be the case for most old glade files.

I made a script that automatically fixes this, it's attached. To run:

python fix_glade_3.py filename.glade
A backup named filename.glade~script~ is automatically created.

UPDATE: I've updated the script so that it handles glade files built with libglade and GtkBuilder.

Thanks all for your help,
and thanks Flimm for the script!

It seems to work for me, and I have check "back port" 9.10->8.04.
However, problem seems to be deeper. In older versions (<9.10)
glade-3 was in main repository, but in 9.10 glade is excluded
from the main repository and there is no glade-3 at all!

Best regards, nick

I was pretty scared at the beginning when I saw the behaviour of the Glade project in Ubuntu 9.04
