See my other post - I used Glade as of 2 days ago :) 

It is UI ONLY.  The most programming you do in Glade is specify the
routine names for event signals of widgets. ie:  run on_button_click
when someone clicks this button.

You draw it up using Gtk's rules (boxes, frames, panels etc.) then
export the code - C default, I use Perl, there are other converters
around to convert Glade's XML to {chosen language}.  Then you program
all the logic how you see fit.

In the case of the Perl interfaces and a stock standard default app:

1 - draw forms in Glade
2 - convert xml to perl modules with glade2perl
3 - perl -e 'use src::Project1.pm;window1->run;'

And your form is showing.
