No, not without more work. I think this apply to either choice.
However, I think its possible to add Open Inventor SoGtk widgets
to glade. Looking at internal of glade, a widget's creation, set
property, get property, etc are done through "user" provided
functions (as oppose to functions internal to Gtk+), so its
technically possible to create SoGtk components and send back the
component's top level widget via getWidget(). One problem is
signal connection will not work with the SoGtk components because
glade sees only the top level container widget. An alternative way
is to provide Gtk wrappers to SoGtk components. Glade is designed
to allow additional modules of Gtk widgets to be plugin, but as of
0.5.11, this loading of plugin is still a dummy implementation. So
it should be possible to add a SoGtk module in future.
A quick hack to glade here ;-)
Another consideration is whether libglade will be able to
dynamically create SoGtk widgets on loading the XML file generated
by glade. But similar mechanism seems to be used, so it appears
possible.
