Be careful to distinguish between libglade, which loads Glade version 2 files &
has been deprecated upstream for over a decade, and the Glade 3.x application
which generates GtkBuilder files, read by the GtkBuilder API's in libgtk 2.12
and later:

https://developer.gnome.org/gtk2/stable/gtk-migrating-GtkBuilder.html
https://www.simple-is-better.org/gtk/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glade_Interface_Designer

(Things I all had to learn when figuring out how to deal with this on our side,
  in which I recently removed libglade altogether as it's not needed in GNOME 3.)
