This looks like glademm is being used.

Perhaps you are looking for the --libglade option to glade--. Try it and 
tell me which problems are still left. [no way to select this option 
from within glade, yet]

This sounds like libglademm (provide Gtkmm classes for xml instances). 
Did glade-- generate pointers for your code (see above) if you marked 
the interesting widgets as protected/public [C++ option in glade].
