I can't help with your issue, but this reminded me to pass on the
way I handle edit-reload-inspect for a glade based app:

Glib::Timeout->add(500, sub { # auto-restart if glade file changes
    return 1 unless (-M $glade_file) < 0;
    Gtk2->main_quit;
    exec "perl", $0, @ORIG_ARGV or die "Can't exec $0: $!";
});
