GNOME is a Desktop Manager and Glade is a GUI Builder. GNOME is build using
GLADE and GTK+ Libraries.

Its not using GNOME, OLPC is using XO-Sugar User Interface made using GTK

If you need to make a thing working for the OLPC, you have to make it using
the GTK libraries. The language that I suggest is Python as it is more
widely used with other developments.

You are designing a User Interface using Glade, and code in a language. If
you are using Python, its PyGTK what you need.
www.pygtk.org

So that is generated in C as per the widgets that are connected with some

For a software developed for OLPC, the best place to clarify your doubts
will be the sugar mailing list. (You need Sugar for testing the software for
OLPC : http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Category:Installing_Sugar)
