Hi,

See this preliminary project [1] (I did not try it my self) and this
discussion [2] on the maintainers mailing list .

Basically Glade and Qt designer are drag and drop GUI builders. They produce
a description of the window layout as an xml file that has to be parsed by
an external engine (uic [3] for c++, pyuic for python pyqt ...) to obtain
usable code in whatever language.
