If you use add_from_file() method, you're building entire GUI at once,
whether you like it or not. The only way of building only part of GUI
is to use add_objects_from_file() method.

According to this, you'll need to split your GUI into separate files
if you don't want to recreate the whole GUI over and over again.

I never used libglade, since when I started using GTK+, GtkBuilder was
already preferred way of construction GUIs built with Glade, so I
cannot comment on that.
