I believe that is what the root parameter is for... building a widget
from just one branch of the glade file.   For the help docs:

Note the file entire file actually gets cached..... If this is a real
problem then you can also break up the glade file into small parts... OR
parse it (into a buffer) with an XML parser, and then "glade_xml_new"
the buffer.
