That seems to be the problem.

I have installed now glade 3.5.5 and wow!, i wasnt expecting so much
change between both versions.
Any way, the GtkBuilder xml generated by glade 3.5.5 seems to be way
different from the translated by gtk-builder-convert. So this will
require to change many things in my code (MenuItems were translated as
actions are now are real menuitems).

Also some other simpler things are not working. Running my code just
changing interface.xml to interface.glade.xml gives lots of errors and
no window show up.

Maybe all of this doesnt work because my gtk is 2.15 (and doesnt
support native menues) and 2.16 is not yet available in repositories.
I will have to find another way to represent this dinamic menu.

Many thanks.
