Dont use the conversion script to convert from GtkBuilder format to
GtkBuilder format please, actually please dont use the converst script
from GTK+ at all (it was originally created to help transition when
Glade did not support the format/conversions at all).

Note that recently there was a bug reported, the conversion process
doesnt work from the little check-mark in the "Save As" dialog. If you
are converting a file from libglade format you must use the project
preferences dialog to convert.

Cheers,
