Glade and libglade were very nice, and I used to use these extensively.
However, I still ran into nasty bugs here. For example, if you load a
glade widget tree and reparent into a custom widget, it loses all the
accelerators (keyboard bindings). And there were issues with the
libglade bindings as well, both bugs and defects such as not being able
to use signal autoconnection. And later they made an incompatible break
with GtkBuilder with then with GTK+3, which was the final straw in
dropping GTK+ for good.
