Thanks again Tristan, it sounds rather well.
I use to build my own debian packages for distribute my apps too.
I think put the catalog file under /usr/share/my_app/ with the other glade
files it's the bet approach, isn't?

It's there a good doc to learn about GLADE_CATALOG_PATH and how
can i include my own catalog? is an environment variable? Must my app
include the catalog on GLADE_CATALOG_PATH when launching?

Cheers!
