This is intended behaviour. glade-- will never touch your files (see 
users guide but instead generate a mainWindow.hh_new which contains the 
necessary function declarations. You have to copy them to the place you 
like them at. Writing a _robust_ parser to insert the functions at the 
right place did not seem to be reasonable effort.

Actually, older versions of glade-- did not use the abstract mechanism 
but you got a compile error in foo_glade.cc if some signal callbacks 
were missing.

Believe me, it is somewhat annoying in the beginning, but you really get 
used to appreciate it.

glade-- did not remove it (this is obviously the right thing to do with 
user written code).

Of course everybody sees this behaviour.
