Glade file opens but no details

Glade 3.14.2 seems to open my .glade file, but displays nothing. I can see all xml details in text editor. Headers in my .glade file are:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<glade-interface>
  <!-- interface-requires gtk+ 2.16 -->
  <!-- interface-naming-policy toplevel-contextual -->
  <widget class="GtkWindow" id="mainwindow">

... ending with ...

</glade-interface>

Am I missing something or have the wrong version?

It looks like your ui xml is stored in old libglade format.

Since libglade is deprecated, you can try to convert this xml to GtkBuilder format:

gtk-builder-convert foo.glade foo.ui

Note, that gtk-builder-convert is in libgtk2.0-dev package on Debian.

Also note, that you will have to update ui creation code to GtkBuilder too, here goes the skeleton:

import pygtk
pygtk.require("2.0")
import gtk

class Skeleton(object):       
    def __init__(self):
        builder = gtk.Builder()
        builder.add_from_file("foo.ui")
        builder.connect_signals({ "on_window_destroy" : gtk.main_quit })
        self.window = builder.get_object("mainwindow")
        self.window.show()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    Skeleton()
    gtk.main()

You may also try to change root xml element from glade-interface to interface before opening it in recent glade designer, however, I can't recommend that.
