The 'custom widget' feature in Glade allows you to provide your own
function to create a particular widget.

Currently you can't add extra widgets to Glade dynamically. You can only
do it by adding code into Glade and recompiling. Though I'd like to support
dynamically loading widget libraries at some point.

Have you installed it in a different directory to Gnome?
If you did then Gnome won't find the help files.
(You could try setting "GNOMEDIR")
