Hi, sorry there is no real documentation about this at the moment.

please, the simplest way is to follow instructions in my blog post[1],
that will get you the widget in the glade runtime (remember to set
the parent attribute to GtkDrawingArea)... then in your libglade
application you need to call:

   glade_provides ("name"); /* the name of the catalog in glade */
   glade_register_widget (FOO_TYPE_BAR, glade_standard_build_widget,
                          NULL, NULL); /* FOO_TYPE_BAR is your real type */


Cheers,
            -Tristan
