This constructor is protected because it is used in XFC's memory 
management implementation and should only be used by dervied classes.

I will have a look at writing an XFC binding for libglade. I wouldn't 
use generated C code because the Glade docs say this is deprecated and 
will possibly be removed in Glade 3. The recommended usage is to use XML 
files and libglade.
