I know it doesnt explain why it stopped working, but you can try using the same
libgtkdateentry.so in the "library" attribute for both catalogs, (or
alternatively declare a
single catalog).

This does not cause the resulting program to automatically require
both libraries
to run, but may cause the Glade environment to work.
