You cannot add a GtkWindow to another GtkContainer, a GtkWindow is a
toplevel-only
widget and is not meant to be maintained.

You can either:
   - Manually unparent your window's child and add that child to the
notebook (the traditional oldschool way)
   - Use the "root" argument to glade_xml_new or some equivalent
gtkbuilder api (I think that works
     for building of sub-portions of the glade file)
   - Use development or trunk versions of Glade allowing you to use
non-GtkWindow toplevel project
     widgets - and use GtkBuilder that will allow you toplevelless
glade files without errors/warnings.

Cheers,
