No, there's nothing wrong with it. That has nothing to do with gladeui.
Read it again -- /usr/lib/libglade is failing to be created. It's
required now, and this unfortunately breaks non-root installs. If you
know of a way to install libglade modules to a non-root location without
breaking the install for regular users (missing widgets in the settings
dialog would suck), please submit a patch.
