sry I don't have time for a more in depth reply right now,

Two recommendations:
   A.) if you use c++, you should take a look into
        using the gtkmm bindings for a more natural
        API to gtk

  B.) when writing any serious/large software you
       should make your glade files modular and
       separate, I.e. create one glade file for a
       preferences dialog, one for a project window,
       one for any logical modular portion of your
       application... have objects associated to those
       glade files and make them support practical
       Apis for your application... this way you get more
       bang for your buck, by using small reusable 
       UI components

Cheers,
