1. Make sure you use the latest version of my gtkmm binaries (at least 
gtkmm-2.4.5-3, or better the new gtkmm-2.4.5-4 installer with 
localization in english/french). I recently fixed a bug in glade-- (a 
getenv("HOME") that fails on win32 when the HOME variable is not defined).
2. Don't use project directories with whitespaces (say C:\My 
Documents\My GTK+ Projects\My nice application). glade does not like 
that when it execv's glade--.

Hope it helps
