GtkBuilder is a new api in GTK+ since 2.12 and it does essentially
what libglade
did (libglade is now deprecated in favour of the builder).

GtkBuilder also provides GtkBuildable interface allowing GTK+ widgets
(or third party widgets) to handle the parsing phase in custom ways.

No Glade 3.4 does not understand GtkBuilder format, you need 3.6 for that.

(Glade 3.6 will also allow you to convert your old libglade projects into
the new GtkBuilder format).
