Yes, glade-2 is the one I use both to edit the interface (when it's
substantial changes, otherwise I prefer to edit the .glade file
manually) and to generate the code.
But it's not the same as glade3 or glade-gtk2 (which is a flavor of
glade3) -- those edit the interface but do not generate C code anymore.

The problem is that glade jumped from version 2 to version 3 ahead of
GTK, and now there's two flavors of glade-3 around, one that supports
GTK2 with libglade or equivalent, and one that targets GTK3 with gtkbuilder.
Thus, we have:
- glade-2: version 2 of Glade, last stable seems to be 2.12.2 and it's
getting pretty deprecated; lets user edit the graphical interface and
generate GTK2 C code directly. This is what I use.
- glade-gtk2: version 3 of Glade targeted at GTK2, last stable seems to
be 3.8.x, and newer Glade 3.x are not backward compatible with it
anymore. I believe this one doesn't generate full-blown C code like that
in xo-interface.c, but instead generates XML files that the application
renders into a user interface at runtime using libglade/libgladeui.
Ah, apparently GtkBuilder came in as a replacement for
libglade/libgladeui sometime before the end of GTK2, so I'm not sure
which versions of Glade3 generate libglade code and which ones generate
GtkBuilder code. Presumably 3.8 can do either one.
- glade3 or whatever it's called: the current version of Glade, which is
now 3.14.x, targeted at GTK3, using GtkBuilder only and no longer
compatible with Libglade (not to mention the generation of C code, which
has been deprecated for a while).
Yes, it's a mess. Ah, confirmation of the glade3 situation: as stated by
Wikipedia:
On 5 April 2011, two parallel installable stable Glade versions where
released:
Glade 3.8: That includes all support for GTK+ up till version 2.24.
This version is to serve as a decent migration path for older projects
migrating to GTK+ 3.0.
Glade 3.10: That includes support only for widgets that are still
included in GTK+ 3.0 and additionally drops support for Libglade.
(now we're at 3.8.3 and 3.14.2).
So: what xournal does is now doubly deprecated. Bleh. All I can say is
I'm glad I didn't act on requests I received 2-3 years ago to upgrade
the interface to glade3 with libglade, given how quickly that one also
got deprecated.
Best,
Denis
