It also keeps track of the main application +configuration file, the user-defined styles (via StyleManager) and the +custom preambles (via Preambles). + +The Menu class manages the menu and toolbar for MainWindow. It uses +GtkUiManager to load these from an XML description, and deals with the +GTK+ callbacks for the various actions. + |
