Since 2.12, GTK+ can import a glade-like file format, called GtkBuilder,
and GTK+ has a converter script to convert from the glade format. I
don't recommend it right now, mostly because I find it very annoying
that each GtkBuilder file can only contain one top-level window. But
feel free to try it.

In future, Glade will use GtkBuilder, and then we will all use it and be
happy.
