A difficult question to answer, since we can't see the rest of your  
code.  My first guess is that you're missing some step.  Are you  
obtaining the dialog object with glade_xml_get_widget? Are you  
showing that dialog?  Are you connecting signals, either by obtaining  
objects and calling g_signal_connect or using  
glade_xml_signal_autoconnect?

Any number of things could be going wrong.  Poke around with these  
suggestions, read the libglade reference manual, and perhaps send us  
a more extensive piece of your code if you continue having difficulties.

HTH,
