GUI over bash using glade

I want to make a remote control for my PC. Basically all I need is to run a command on a button click. Following this guide I managed to build the layout and it's everything i've ever dreamed of. But when I try to run it using

gtkdialog -g test.glade -p MainWindow

this happens

(gtkdialog:18284): libglade-WARNING **: Expected <glade-interface>.  Got <interface>.
(gtkdialog:18284): libglade-WARNING **: did not finish in PARSER_FINISH state
(gtkdialog:18284): libglade-CRITICAL **: glade_xml_get_widget: assertion 'self != NULL' failed
(gtkdialog:18284): ERROR **: Can not load 'MainWindow' from file 'test.glade'

And after that nothing really happens.. Is there a easier way to do this?

My idea is to put that program on a separate virtual screen and access it using my cellphone.

That's the glade file

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

gtkdialog is an old dead project that does not support the modern gtkbuilder syntax that glade uses. It should be avoided and you should make the application in a language such as python or gjs which has official bindings.
