I think Juan implemented something for that (by storing the unrecognised widget
and re-adding the xml at save time).

Note that 'custom widgets' Glade 2 style is deprecated in favour of just
using a small xml catalog to define the custom widgets you want to
add in your own project (which will show up in Glade's palette).

What version of Glade are you running, have you tried it with 3.14.x ?
