To the best of my knowledge, Mandrake does not seem to have GNAT
3.15p; instead, it has GCC 3.3.1 with Ada support (this is an
experimental version of GNAT, not to be used for anything except
experimentation).  Are you sure you are using 3.15p?  In which case,
where did you get the .rpm files?

As Poul-Erik said, you can apply the GtkAda patch to glade-2, but you
don't have to.  If you can live with a command-line interface, you can
call gate (this, in fact, works well with Makefiles).  Gate generates
the Ada code from the .glade XML file.  It also comes as part of
GtkAda.

Also, if you have more specific questions, you will receive better
help on the GtkAda mailing list; see http://libre.act-europe.fr/GtkAda
