When something +goes wrong, it's not always obvious why. You can waste hours +writing logging statements only to find out that a widget is +in the wrong container, or an attribute wasn't set correctly. + +Developing isn't much better either. Ever spend time writing +temporary code just to test a new feature, code you know you're +going to throw away in an hour, and yet you end up spending the +next 20 minutes debugging your temporary code? Sucks, doesn't +it? + +What your program really needs is a good Parasite infestation. + +Parasite is a debugging and development tool that runs inside +your GTK+ application's process. It can inspect your application, +giving you detailed information on your UI, such as the hierarchy, +X window IDs, widget properties, and more. You can modify properties +on the fly in order to experiment with the look of your UI. + +WWW: http://chipx86.github.com/gtkparasite/ |
