I've just proposed a patch [1], I'll wait a bit to see if there is some
reactions. If no, I'll ask and we'll see.

Anyway, I've just tried to fix the build in the glade side, and the
result is a really trivial patch that I attach here -- it may be
available for download together with the glade tarball or you could even
patch the tarball.
