I pushed the most recent code of simple-netaid to gitlab.

https://git.devuan.org/aitor_czr/simple-netaid-gtk/tree/master

You'll find some commented parts focused to Gtk3. You'll find also
several smart pointers like this:

Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::ActionGroup> m_refActionGroup;

Don't panic!

In spanish we call them "punteros inteligentes":

auto_ptr<some_type>

But these concrete smartpointers are not general purpose smartpointers.
They should not be used with widgets. They should only be used with
classes that force you to use it - by having no public constructor but
having public create*() methods, as Murray Cumming explains in the
following link:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22373506/gtkmm-using-refptr-with-widgets-kept-in-stdvector

Now, i would like to do some clarifications:

- The code of the main menu and the toolbar still is not implemented
(give me a few hours).

- There is a segmentation fault closing the application, i still have
not located it.

- The thread defined in the main.cpp:

https://git.devuan.org/aitor_czr/simple-netaid-gtk/blob/master/src/main.cpp

waits for the window-main-worker-thread for 10 seconds (line nº 90 in
main.cpp). So, if you want to debug simple-netaid using Valgrind, you
will need to increase this value.

The new simple-netaid, with its strengths and weaknesses :)

Hope you like it,

  Aitor.
