I often load the Glade interface in an object init or realise method
(rooted at the child of the Glade main window), and store pointers to
the widgets of interest in the object structure.  In this case, the
Glade UI is loaded once per object instance, and unref'd in the
finalise method.  This has the benefits of having the UI constructed
automatically and having a "proper" GObject to manipulate as a
separate entity, with its own signals, properties and methods.  This
can make for nice, clean maintainable code--there might be a dozen
separate Glade files, but the UI is all custom types derived from Gtk
objects.


Regards,
Roger
