[GNC] feature request, select all on reconcille

[Dennis Powless]

I've looked over window-reconcile.c and see the section on the menus.

Odd question, how do I actually learn how to do this.  I've read up on gtk,
glade and see in the code where the menu items are coded.

Do I edit the actual file via gedit (geany) or do I use glade?  I'm sure I
can learn the language to edit the file, but is there another easier way,
seems glade would be this?

Do you think the 'select all' should be a menu item in a drop down (say the
reconcile top level menu?) or on the menu bar as a stand alone button?

Maybe point me in the correct location to discuss this?  I know it's a
steep learning curve, but I do have some experience with doing code, just
not this language.

I want to help out with this project and feel I can do some things to help
out once I figure some of it out.
