Thank you. Yes this was the issue. I was trying to examine the widgets' 
allocation
whilst in the constructor of the glade builder-derived window.

What I should of been doing (and works) is installing a realize handler for
the widget
and examining the allocation there:

a_widget->signal_realize().connect( sigc::mem_fun(*this,
&MyWindow::signal_realize) );

and in the signal_realize handler:
refGlade->get_widget("button", b)
cout << "X:" << b->get_allocation().get_x() << " Y:" <<
b->get_allocation().get_y() << endl;

Thanks for the hint!
Stuart
