Your glade file a tad out of sync with the program. In the program
you're connecting the signals manually. That's probably not what you
want. All you need to do to connect the signals defined in the glade
file is one call:
glade_xml_signal_autoconnect (main_window);

The g_signal_connect () function has nothing to do with glade. You can't
just pass a widget name as a parameter to it and expect to get the
widget as user_data in your callback.

I can't give a recommendation for a particular tutorial. I do not know
if there's any "official" one, but I'm sure if you just google for
"glade tutorial" you'll find plenty.
