Yes, that's the originating problem here. Libglade is not on my
"bad-documented-libraries" list, so I think anyone having problems to find a
libglade example or to make an existing example work, is really lacking some
basic knowledge either on programming or in searching for information.

If at least the guy complaining would have given more information about the
problems he had, we could have directed him in the right direction, which
would've been much more productive than this "where do we put examples for the
lazy one" thread.
