I think you want is create your widget in glade, and deattach this from the top window and put in another container right? if this is what you want, you can do it. monodevelop make this all time. you get the top level window, get his children, unparent this and destroy the top lvl window. then you have your children ready to attach in other container. im under windows now, so i dont know the code to do this, but take a look in monodevelop, if im not mistaked, the class to do this is GladeExtract.
