you can define the location of the glade file at compile time using a
macro expanding the directory where you install it
(e.g. /usr/share/your-application/your-ui.glade).

you might want to use the autotools in order to set up a build
environment for your application.

this would defy the whole point of having a separate XML definition of
your UI. in any case, an glade file is just XML, so you can move it into
a private source file as a C string and use glade_xml_new_from_buffer().
