I've tried the new avogadro stuff, it's very good.

In kalzium we had the "no labels" entry in the combobox. Would that be 
possible to have in libavogadro? Honest question, I understand that it may 
feel redundant in libavogadro as avogadro uses a separate checkbox to 
enable/disable the labelengine.

Maybe that sort of issue underlines that it'd be good if libavogadro offered 
some freedom to the app developer, i.e. libavogadro provides slots to which 
the app developer can connect the signals of whatever gui elements he likes.

I just understood that this connecting could be done by the glwidget. Indeed, 
the glwidget knows about both the engine (which it loaded) and the dialog 
(its parent widget). So it should be able to connect each other. This could 
be done by subclassing Avogadro::GLWidget, as is currently done by Kalzium.

Cheers,
Benoit
