GNOME developers generally layout their GUI according to the GNOME Human
Interface Guidelines.

You can find it at:

http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/

In this document you'll find dozens of good advices related to designing
your GUI.

Speaking of Glade, I think it's a really good idea using it.
Constructing you GUI using pure Gtk# without Glade can be a serious
pain.  Since there are not high-level widgets that automatically comply
to the GNOME HIG, using Glade is always a good idea in my opinion.
