My reasoning is that if you inhibit the user the *possibility* to tamper
with the files you deliver, you won't have to take this into account
when providing support. Call me a security (effectiveniss ?) freak: the
less tweaking that can be done, the less support one should provide. If
you provide your compiled program as one whole (i.e. without a separate
file called e.g. project.glade), then the question "Did you tamper with
project.glade, sir ?" is a question you shouldn't even think of asking
when supporting your end product.

You could checksum-test the .glade file from within your app at startup,
couldn't you?
