Double-check all of the packing and sizing options in the glade file  
against the corresponding ones in your all-perl version; i noticed at  
least a few differences in a cursory glance.  The boxes have spacing 5  
in your code, 0 in glade; the button was expand=FALSE, fill=TRUE in  
code but expand=TRUE, fill=TRUE in glade, etc.  In fact, the expand is  
a likely culprit.
