Of course, of course, it's all obvious now, when you see the
private/protected/public selector in glade itself. I had not noticed that
before, and the code for the main window looked like this (see below),
with no public/protected members.

Perhaps this should be a FAQ? I didn't see this in the glade-2 faq nor in
the glade-- user guide. If it was, it should be more salient. I'm sure you
people are tired by now of answering this question to beginners.

It's all coming together now. Thank you both!
