The easiest fix would be in GTK+, to fix it from a conversion
could be possible from Glade, i.e. we could make the rude assumption
that any libglade file is broken and "fix" it on the way into GtkBuilder;
that would not solve the problem of any GtkBuilder files that were
created before the GTK+ version introducing GtkOrientable (which is
the other half of the problem at hand).

I cant speak for when that bug will be fixed in GTK+, I did not submit
a patch myself, although such a patch would be arguably easy to write.
