Unless things have changed much, you can open the glade file with
glade2-gnome (some or most distros have different packages for gralde2,
one support only basic GTK+ and other supports also GNOME specific
widgets).

Also I think at least some menus (Tags come to mind) are built at
runtime, because their contents cannot be known beforehand. In that case
your best bet is to find some text in menu that is 'special' (ie. not a
word like 'is') and grep for it in *.cs; then you can place some
System.WriteLine("")'s and see what's happening at runtime.
