Quote from libglade home page [1]:

"Libglade can also automatically connect signal handlers in the user 
interface. It does this by matching handler names specified in the glade 
file with symbols in the executable looked up with the gmodule library 
(this requires that applications be linked with the --export-dynamic flag)."

The classic reason for this to not work is that people forget
to put --rdynamic or --export-dynamic on the command line when
compiling thier application.
