Generally what I do is create a G-Object or a struct to contain all of
the information about an application.  I then have an initialise
function that loads and populates this struct or object.

I tend to connect the signals and signal handlers by hand so that I can
pass a pointer to my application object as the final argument to
g_signal_connect.

I don't know of any libglade tutorial that explains this.  I first saw
this design pattern in Gossip[1].  I found the source code for Gossip to
be very clean and easy to understand.  I would recommend that you look
at the source code, in particular gossip-main.c and gossip-app.[ch].
