What I would like to understand, specifically, is whether the code generated by those "builders" could be useful, in any way, for Ada programmers. And, if so, what would be the next step to take after generating the code with the builders.

Glade does not generate Ada code but a XML file that contains descriptions of 
GTK widgets/windows (size, packing, signals, etc ...).

From this XML file you can get a code prototype using a code sketcher.
Code sketcher are available for different languages :

See section "Code sketching" in article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glade_Interface_Designer
