It's been about two years since I looked at Glade, but when I left
they had a C code generator that was a little sketchy. It didn't do
so well at preserving your code when you changed the layout. About
that same time a lot of work was going into building a library
libGlade (?) that would read the Glade layout files (XML format) at
runtime to generate the windows on the fly.
