Yes. You need libglade-convert just to build a couple of packages, which
gave glade1 files, constructed by glade, and use this script to generate
glade fly in compile time.

Yes, there is a way -- to use glade2 files everywhere. You *just* need
to make glade2 visual interfaces builder fully functional and stable.

Or rewrite converter in Perl, bash, or XSLT. Of course it's a waste of
time to rewrite a well working tool.

No. It's not possible. Or at least you will have quite a small set of
programs.

Also, you need not just python2, but also python-xml package installed.
