Gtk-- is pretty synced up to GTK 1.2. The main reason not to use it
would probably be that you like C more, or that you don't want the
extra overhead (which isn't that much, but for an embedded system or
something you might care).

With Glade, I would recommend libglade instead of outputing code. But
if you want to output code, I know there's a C++ code generator, look
on the glade page (glade.pn.org I think).
