Developing and debugging UIs can be a pain. 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.

===> The following configuration options are available for gtkparasite-20090819_6:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
- Convert to option helper install target (add OPTIONS_DEFINE=DOCS
when it was missing)
- Invoke INSTALL_DATA where appropriate instead of INSTALL_MAN
- Fix some whitespace and formatting bugs along the way
Remove libintl.so.9 compatibility link that was added in r374303 to
prevent massive PORTREVISION bumps. Bump dependent ports that have not
been bumped since.
MASTER_SITES cleanup.
- Replace ${MASTER_SITE_FOO} with FOO.
- Merge MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR into MASTER_SITES when possible. (This means 99.9%
of the time.)
- Remove occurrences of MASTER_SITE_LOCAL when no subdirectory was present and
no hint of what it should be was present.
- Fix some logic.
- And generally, make things more simple and easy to understand.
While there, add magic values to the FESTIVAL, GENTOO, GIMP, GNUPG, QT and
SAMBA macros.
Also, replace some EXTRACT_SUFX occurences with USES=tar:*.
