In the catalog that plugin specifies libegg as the library,
Glade loads that library by hand (it can actually be a plugin
library for implementing editing features inside Glade, which
should usually link to the actual widget library).

You need to tell gcc in what library you put the widget you
need and link when you compile your executable (gcc -lmylib)
