You could try opening up these glade files in a later ( let still 1.x
version ) of glade and saving them. I've only ever used glade-2 and
glade-3, so I can't really comment more on this.

Maybe not. Gtk and Gtk2 can coexist on the same system. Actually, I'm
surprised that Ubuntu doesn't have these ( at least as options ) for
legacy software. Maybe it does?

I would certainly port the stuff to Gtk2. There are some details of what
you can expect to have to do at:
http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/doc/porting.html ... and of course the
main site: http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/ is well worth checking out,
as is the mailing list ( subscribe on the website ). I'm a Gtk2-Perl
developer and I'd be happy to help you out if you get stuck. If you're
doing database front-ends, then have a look at my software at:
