i think it actually gets the last one listed in the glade file.

Gtk2::GladeXML::get_widget() is a trivial binding for libglade's 
glade_xml_get_widget(), so whatever behavior you're seeing is coming 
from libglade, not the perl bindings.

libglade uses a GHashTable to hold the mapping of widget names to 
widgets; duplicate names will hash to the same table entry, and 
therefore the last-created widget will be the one found in the hash.  
does the MainMenu form come before or after the Batches window in your 
xml file?

nope; not our bug.  ;-)
