Yep, gnome-program stuff shouldn't need to be involved with this.  All 
that needs to happen is for glade-gnome.c to be moved to libgnomeui and 
glade-bonobo.c to libbonoboui.  Then the initialisation functions for 
these just have to call the glade_module_register_widgets() function 
(the register function will need to be renamed; may as well use an 
underscore prefix, as it doesn't need to be public).

As for libglade initialisation, I think adding calls to glade_init() to 
glade_xml_init(), glade_register_widget() and glade_require() should 
make it unnecessary for the programmer to explicitly initialise 
libglade, which might make it easier to fit into the gnome-program init 
setup.
