How to load glade files

[Dominik Gabi <dkgispam gmail com>]

Hi,

I've just finished my first gtkmm application (also, I'm a linux 
newbie), so please be patient with me: I have a general question about 
how to deal with the files created in glade. Where do you load these 
files from? I've just put them in a separate directory "ui" and loaded 
them with a relative path which, as it turns out, does not really work 
once you call the application from outside its directory ;) So what's 
the solution for this? Do I have to figure out the path of my executable 
or is there a common place to store resources?

Another completely unrelated question: where do you go when you run into 
problems with gtkmm? I'd like to bother people in this mailing list as 
little as possible but there seem to be very little resources on the 
web!? Google helps sometimes but not always...

Thanks,
    Dominik.
