For a Glade+GTK approach:
The interface definition will be in an xml file.  libglade will parse this
file and create the interface on the fly.  Interface definition files can be
created using Glade.  Glade can actually generate C code and bypass
all the xml stuff, but use of libglade WAS the recommended way to do it
at least until last year when I used it.


BTW, I was lucky to catch this last night:
