I had other reports of people having problems with glade--. Did you 
install gtkmm in the same directory as GTK+ and checked the "Register 
environments variables" option ? The directory that contains glade--.exe 
must be in your PATH.

Anyway, you might also want to replace the glade--.exe executable with 
this one that fixes some path manipulation problems on win32

Make sure that Users have read/execute access to the file (if you're on 
a win2k/winxp pro box).

You should use `pkg-config libglademm-2.4 --cflags --libs` instead.

Actually, you have to call Gtk::Main my_app(argc, argv) in main. See the 
examples in the libglademm source tarball.
