See Owen Taylor's quoted statement on generated code [1]. All the points 
he made are still valid.
There is no reason to use generated code. glade has autoconnection 
capabilities, meaning that you can specifiy "foo_cb"
in the glade file as a handler for an event (i.e. a signal emission), 
define foo_cb in your code and it will magically be invoked
when the signal is emitted. [2] has an example showing how simple it is 
to build a RAD GUI.
