[pygtk] Using glade in large applications

We use Glade exclusively for CANVAS (which I consider fairly large at
this point). It's working well, even for very complex projects.

That said, there ARE some pretty annoying bugs - especially related to
image paths which it will break for no reason. You'll end up cleaning
it up by hand after using it sometimes. And the programming model is
fantastic. We have multiple Glades for multiple devices. For the N800
(small handheld device) you can expose your UI as three big buttons
and for real Linux machines you can expose it in all its complex crazy
glory. It's great. I think we use Gazpacho for the N800 .glade
creation now, but that's because the Maemo guys do I think.

So have no fear. :>
