I think http://developer.gnome.org/ is a good place to start.  You will 
find here a big part of the information needed to understand GNOME 
internals.

In fact, Glade is usually used to generate code.  This is (as far as I 
know) incompatible with Ruby (Glade supports C/C++).

Hopefully, Libglade exists!  This is a C library which can dynamically 
load a Glade GUI using its .glade file (this is a XML file, which 
contains all information about the GUI).  And ruby-gnome2 comes with a 
ruby-libglade2 binding.

I prefer the 'Libglade' way, because it separates GUI from 
implementation.

Thank you!  I will certainly need some help.  I don't have much 
experience in writing tutorials ;-)
