This has already been discussed.
To cut it short: bonobo is unnecessarily complictaed and introduces many
dependencies. Glade3 is a tiny and clean implamentation which only
require gtk+.
Since it's pretty modular nobody prevents you (or somebody interested)
to write a bonobo component which wraps glade3 in the same way that
glimmer wraps gtksourceview.
