When you step into the Gnome-side of things you have to make sure it is 
also initialized.  Instead of Gtk.Application.Init () and 
Gtk.Application.Run() you need to do:
Gnome.Program p = new Gnome.Program ("Name", "Version", 
Gnome.Modules.UI, args);
and p.Run (); which initializes the underlying gnome libs.  Also, look 
for a line in the .glade file like:
<requires lib="gnome" />.
