I've followed Ludovic's advice and have version 2.12.1 of Glade running.  It 
generates ada code (after installing libgtkada2-bin).  However now I don't 
seem to have the gtkada libraries installed because gnatmake is not finding 
gtk.ads.  I assume it is meant to be in /usr/include/gtkada.

As for the different versions of Glade - I was after something that would 
generate the GUI code to which I could then add the relevant event handlers 
(I think Glade calls them signals).   If Version 3 has moved on from that 
then maybe I had better think again.

Is there a package I can download using apt-get that will install the gtkada 
ada libraries?  Or do I have to compile the libraries from the gtkada libre 
site? https://libre.adacore.com/GtkAda/  I'm a bit concerned about that 
because following the second path is how I got into strife the first time 
around.
