Hi,

For what I can tell, building with gladeui-2.0 requires gtk+-3.0, and as of
today there is no support for GTK3 in any Xfce library.

Also, the latest version of Glade can only create Glade/UI files for GTK3, it
doesn't let you save GTK2 projects anymore. I hope I'm not wrong here, because
I didn't find any option in the latest Glade that lets you choose the version.

So basically working with Glade is currently broken, at least for all the
distros/systems that provide a recent version of it. It is of course possible
to build Glade 3.7 manually from the source.
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/devtools/2.91/2.91.2/sources/

If support is added in libxfce4ui for gladeui-2.0, it will mean the library can
be used with GTK3 applications and of course Glade for GTK3 projects.

Conclusion is that building with Glade > 3.7 is not possible. I updated the bug
summary and severity accordingly.

Cheers,
Mike
