I disagree with this. Although it might be nice to have something
which allows you to build callbacks I think having a special callback
editor would be the wrong approach. Personally I like editing my code
with emacs -- it has a number of handy features for editing and laying
out C code the way I like it and I'd not be particularly happy about
having to learn yet another editor which wold more than likely not
have anywhere near the complement of features that emacs affords. I'm
sure there are others who feel similarly about vi (though, I confess I
have no idea why :-)) or TECO.
I'm also leery of using such a feature since I often end up adding
special includes, macros, and other supporting code to the callback
file since it belongs there. Supporting all of this would seem to me
to add a large amount of complication to the editor.
Personally, I never use the "create callbacks" feature after my
initial GUI design session in fdesign. It's easy enough to add the
callback boilerplate. Heck, if I really wanted to, I could probably
hack an elisp macro to do it and bind it to a key
(Ctrl-Alt-left-elbow-wiggle-ears-X, maybe?).

This has been fixed in 0.87.5 (perhaps in 0.87.4 but I'm not sure).
Now fdesign comes up with nothing preselected.
There was nothing to preclude you from selecting another object even
with the old fdesign.
