so as you've now seen glade creates the widgets once (when you load the
glade data) and when you ask for the widget it just keeps giving you the
same one. in your case you've probably destroyed it so it's no longer a
valid widget, but glade doesn't know that. 

the solution is to hide the dialog rather than destroy it. then when you
grab and show it again it will still exist for your use. the downside is
that any information entered into said dialog (the state) will remain.
so that's one thing to take into consideration.
