Back from vacation (2 weeks in the middle of nowhere) and hacking on CodeCommander again. Things went well today...I went through all of the dialogs and window-widgets and fixed the button sizes and added default buttons and such. I also added the standard GNOME pixmaps to many of the dialogs. All in all, not a bad first day back IMHO.
On vacation I started working on a new framework for what I hope will eventually be the ultimate GNOME IDE...currently I'm just calling it GNOME Commander, and it's something like a way of embedding lots of different IDE related components in a single GUI via Bonobo, and a new flexible container widget similar in apperance to what is used in VC++ and Borland (all the nice dragable windows and such)
