FWIW, the glade files used to generate many of the HIG screenshots  
are available in the HIG module:
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/web-devel-2/content/projects/gup/hig/glade/

I do agree that some clearer examples of dialog construction in the  
HIG would be useful, although only up to a point -- ideally, tools  
like Glade should come with some common templates and/or set the HIG  
spacings by default, where possible.

Cheeri,
Calum.
