For large projects it is probably better to use libglade
with a separate Glade file for each dialog. That is what we
use for Evolution (a mailer/calendar/address book app),
and it has worked fairly well.

If you want to use the code generated by Glade, you could
still split the interface into different pieces to cut
down on the number of conflicts. I haven't tried this in
a large project but it should be OK.
