I think you normally install the XML files somewhere beneath $datadir.

Evolution does something like this (in the Makefile.am):

gladedir = $(datadir)/evolution/glade

INCLUDES = 						\
	-DEVOLUTION_GLADEDIR=\""$(gladedir)"\"

glade_DATA =			\
	alarm-notify.glade	\
	cal-prefs-dialog.glade	\
	task-editor-dialog.glade

glade_messages =			\
	alarm-notify.glade.h		\
	cal-prefs-dialog.glade.h	\
	task-editor-dialog.glade.h

EXTRA_DIST =			\
	$(glade_DATA)		\
	$(glade_messages)


As you can see, it defines EVOLUTION_GLADEDIR when compiling so you use
this to find the XML files in the app, e.g.

	xml = glade_xml_new (EVOLUTION_GLADEDIR "/event-editor-dialog.glade", NULL);
