You really should disable gnome support - it's hardly maintained (since 
nobody ever stepped up to maintain it and I _never_ ever needed it). The 
non-gnome autogen.sh is maintained by me - over the gnome-common 
autogen.sh I have no control. [And you most likely reported an error of 
gnome-common. I don't have an idea how glade resolves this and I don't 
want to spent another hours to support an ever changing gnome-common 
invocation. Frustrated.]

BTW: You perhaps should try the CVS version of glademm since I fixed 
some autotools bugs recently.

I'm also using sid, but I don't have an automake-1.7a ...

ls /usr/bin/automake
automake@     automake-1.4* automake-1.6* automake-1.7*

> /usr/bin/automake-1.7a

how many possible strange names for automake are possible (raises eyes 
to heaven). Oh dear. What a mess.

Unless somebody wants to maintain gnome2 within glademm, I'm going to 
disable it!
