Hi Robert,

I don't recall the need for any backported libglade. I'll check.

However, it used to be that when installing RGtk2 from source it
checked whether glade was already installed (libglade2-dev as I
recall)  and if not it did not include support for glade. I wonder if
a reinstall of RGtk2 might fix the problem?

Regards,
Graham
