Well in this specific case, the proposal was to extend an existing api with 
a new property and a convenience constructor. I don't think the old gtkframe 
should be deprecated by any means. 

In regards to just fixing this in glade, I think there are more than a few 
programs the don't want to build up alot dependencies other than gtk and 
just won't use glade (for whatever reasons). Not having an quick and easy to 
implement hig style frames in gtk just discourages these developers from 
following the HIG and creates inconsistencies. But I guess I should have 
brought this up when I had time to actually do some work on this :/
