This is a good enough place for pygtk/libglade questions (I am author of
both :)

In the object properties dialog, uncheck the visible option. Then you
will have to show() the window before you can see it.

In glade, define a handler for the for the clicked signal of the button
(or if it is a menu item, the activate signal).
Then in your python script, do the following:
def handler(widget, xml):
about = xml.get_widget('the-name-of-the-about-box')
about.show()
xml.signal_connect('what-i-called-the-handler', handler, xml)

At your program startup, do the following to import the GNOME libraries:
import gnome
gnome.app_version = "version-string"
import gnome.ui, libglade
(make sure you set app_version before importing gnome.ui).

The usual way is to give the widget you want to manipulate a unique name,
use get_widget() get a reference to the widget, then call its methods.

In gnome-python 1.4.0, there is a small example of libglade use (I
converted over the pygtk/examples/glade/glade.py example from the old
pyglade to libglade).
