You use glade_xml_new to create a widget from a glade file; the root arg 
allows you to retrieve only part of the hierarchy. See glade_xml_new in 
devhelp:

glade_xml_new ()GladeXML*   glade_xml_new                   (const char 
*fname,
                                            const char *root,
                                            const char *domain);

Creates a new GladeXML object (and the corresponding widgets) from the 
XML file fname. Optionally it will only build the interface from the 
widget node root (if it is not NULL). This feature is useful if you only 
want to build say a toolbar or menu from the XML file, but not the 
window it is embedded in. Note also that the XML parse tree is cached to 
speed up creating another GladeXML object for the same filefname :the 
XML file name. root :the widget node in fname to start building from (or 
NULL) domain :the translation domain for the XML file (or NULL for 
default) Returns :the newly created GladeXML object, or NULL on failure.
