Have you tried putting the glade internationalization before the
python one?  Or putting the locale before all of the binding?  I’ve
also never used gettext.install.  The following seems to work in my
application:

    import locale
    import gettext
    import gtk
    import gtk.glde

    locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
    # see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344926 for why the
    # next two commands look repeated.
    gtk.glade.bindtextdomain(GETTEXT_DOMAIN,
                             LOCALE_PATH)
    gtk.glade.textdomain(GETTEXT_DOMAIN)
    gettext.bindtextdomain(GETTEXT_DOMAIN,
                           LOCALE_PATH)
    gettext.textdomain(GETTEXT_DOMAIN)

This is a silly question, but you did extract the strings from your
GUI to a po file, right?
