It can be done either way. In general you just connect a callback
function to that button's "clicked" signal and there you present the
dialog if it's already created from the main glade file, or open
separate glade file if you prefer to keep it modular.

I feel like you probably need to go through some of the tutorials from
http://glade.gnome.org/
