Hi,
   libgladeui-1.so is needed by programs embedding the glade core
(yes, like anjuta and the glade-3 frontend). libgladegtk.so is basically
required for glade to be any use at all - its the the catalog module for
the base gtk+ widget set - this module will be manually dlopened by
the glade core.

the libgladegnome.so is not required, its only needed for editing glade
files that use the gnome extension library (libgladegnome.so goes along
with the gnome catalog files and gnome pixmaps - see
'find `glade3/plugins/gnome/ -name Makefile.am` for exactly which files
should belong to this category).

Cheers,
                   -Tristan
