This is intended albiet it could be improved (theres a bugzilla entry
wrt resource files in glade projects for that), point is that libglade
will always search in the CWD or in the directory containing the glade
file.

Note that full-paths should also work from the libglade POV, not sure
if the editor will allow you to specify a full-path ATM though.
