Nope. I don't understand everything (adapt gtk widgets
to your library properties??), but you should note
that glade3 should discover the properties of your
widgets. 

Glade3 does it using the reflection mechanisms
provided in gtk+, so if your widgets don't show its
properties that way, glade3 is not gonna see anything.

The xml files are just there to specify some details
of the properties that can't be expressed in gtk+, or
to add some fake properties.

To discover the widgets in your library, glade3 is
basically gonna look in the catalogs for widgets to
instanciate, and it will instanciate it using the
widgetname_type_init (not sure about the exact
name...)

So if your widgets are not gtk+ widgets, that's not
gonna work at all.

Cheers,
