I think you normally install the XML files somewhere beneath $datadir.

Evolution does something like this (in the Makefile.am):

gladedir = $(datadir)/evolution/glade

INCLUDES =                                              \
        -DEVOLUTION_GLADEDIR=\""$(gladedir)"\"

glade_DATA =                    \
        alarm-notify.glade      \
        cal-prefs-dialog.glade  \
        task-editor-dialog.glade

glade_messages =                        \
        alarm-notify.glade.h            \
        cal-prefs-dialog.glade.h        \
        task-editor-dialog.glade.h

EXTRA_DIST =                    \
        $(glade_DATA)           \
        $(glade_messages)


As you can see, it defines EVOLUTION_GLADEDIR when compiling so you use
this to find the XML files in the app, e.g.

        xml = glade_xml_new (EVOLUTION_GLADEDIR "/event-editor-dialog.glade", NULL);
