Creates a new GnomeDbBasicForm widget using all the parameters provided in `paramlist`.

The global layout is rendered using a table (a GtkTable), and an entry is created for each node of `paramlist`.

`data_set` : |
Returns : | the new widget

Creates a new GnomeDbBasicForm widget using all the parameters provided in `paramlist`.

The layout is specified in the `glade_file` specification, and an entry is created for each node of `paramlist`.
