Matplotlib already has a gtk3 backend in the upstream repository, but
they haven't released a new upstream version so it's probably not coming
to unstable anytime soon. So useres will have to live with gtk2 for a
while when using gtk and scipy.

Are you sure that's possible? There is no option for that in glade's
"properties" dialog. And saving a file always produces .glade files,
even when saving the file as .ui -- the contents will be exactly the
same as the .glade file. I'm using glade 3.10.2 from unstable.


Thanks for your help!
