Sound like one has to have Glade to develop a GUI. One do not.
Glade is not produced by ACT and has the version number 0.5.10 (latest)
meaning it hasn't reached 1.0 yet.

But there is no problem coding without using Glade. I do this. That is I
use Glade to design the layout and then I take the code it generates and
cut & paste it into where I want it in my source code. I can of course
understand that one wants to use the GUI builder. But one way or the
other you need to know GtkAda and some at least of GTK+ to be able to
use it to its fullest.
