These are really GTK problems - not Glade. I'd suggest asking these
questions on the GtkAppDevel list or so.

Anyway, a good tutorial on using the widgets is:

GTK+ / Gnome Application Development   (also findable as ggad)

Or Georg Lebl's
Application Programming Using the GNOME Libraries

  After creating, you should (optionally) set a default filename...

  use gtk_dialog_run here - this simplifies calling the dialog. After it
returns, get the filename from the widget, and destroy it. Then use the
filename to do something with it...
