I've created src/plugin-debug.c This is a plugin intended purely for debugging; you have to enable it with --enable-debug-plugin (this is done by default in autogen.sh for people building from CVS). It adds a new "Debug: Dump Area Tree" item to the Tools menu (none of the strings get or need translations as this is purely for debugging). When you select this it dumps the CongEditorArea tree into an XML file and opens it in a new window. This should be really useful for debugging problems with the new editor widget; I'm already seeing obvious mistakes in my code now that there's a good way to visualise the data structure. If you're want to hack on Conglomerate I recommend trying out this feature! Ideas and patches for other debug options welcome... Dave --
