Getting Started with GladeVCP

I built a few panel using the PYVCP approach, it it seems OK for displaying values but not so good for changing them (e.g., disabling an axis). I think I will need to make the jump to using the GladeVCP, but the manual seems a bit tougher to use for that.  Are there any good references I can use to get started with using Glade?

Because Glade has a gui editor, vs hand coding xml files like PYVCP, I think it is best to just start playing with it. Load some of the demo sim configurations, then open those glade gui files using the Glade Editor program to get a feel for how those files are built and then make modifications of them. Then try to build your own VCP window.

The GladeVCP documentation really gives the impression that you have to build and do a lot with a Python handler file but you can do quite a bit without really needing much if any of one. However there is a lot more that you can do with Glade and a Python handler, that you could never even think of doing with a simple PYVCP gui. To the extent of even building an entire stand alone gui for Linuxcnc.
