Yeah, there are quite a few glitches :-/. Unfortunately I do not have
time to continuously work on AbiWord.

As it is now, the GTK+ calls of the GUI are mixed with the glue to the
XP code of AW. Thus, using Glade to update the GTK+ part would mean
having to manually adjust the code to interface to AW again.
I believe the AW part of the GUI should have been kept in a source
module separate from the Glade output, but there might have been
reasons for not doing that - I don't know. The i18n stuff is probably
one reason, though I am not certain how good it is.
I spent a day fixing the paragraph dialog; I could probably have been
done in an hour if I could just have used Glade to modify the parts
that were originally done using Glade anyway.
I also have not tried 'gle', so no comment on that one.
