get the pointer to the window from the GladeXML after parsing the
glade file:

============================================
xml = glade_xml_new (...);

/* ... do stuff ... */

window = glade_xml_get_widget (xml, "the_name_of_your_main_window");

/* ... do stuff ... */

g_object_unref (xml);
============================================

After initializing your app... you can keep the 'window' address
around and call gtk_window_set_title() on it.
