Your window is just realized before glade_xml_signal_autoconnect() call. 
Possible solutions:
1. (the nice one) Test your main window widget with 
GTK_WIDGET_REALIZED() macro.
2. (the worse and untested) Set "Visible" flag ("Common" tab in 
"Properties" notebook) to FALSE, get a pointer to your window (with call 
like 'glade_xml_get_widget(xml, "window1")') and call 
gtk_widget_show_all() on it before gtk_main().
