You'll find a lot of the same people here as in cga.inventor.
I'd post questions specific to SGI Open Inventor to this list and
questions generic to any Open Inventor to cga.inventor, but that's
just me :)

I'm not familiar with Glade.  However, as one of the Coin3D SoGtk authors
I can tell you that no efforts has been made to make SoGtk work with Glade,
so if Glade requires some special support, you'll not be able to use them
together.  I would suspect that Glade needs GUI components to be managed
more or less completely by their base widget (in the case of compound
widgets), while SoGtk "widgets" are really managed through their own C++
component class system.  So just based on my speculations, I'd say "no".
