This being good or bad version doesn't excuse glade to crash, you could
file a bug for that.

I'm not sure how gtk3 packages are and should be labeled in fedora, but
it looks like the 3.8.3 version is gtk2 (despite the fact that it is
called 'glade3' or 'glade-3') and normal version 3.14.2 in this package:

glade-3.14.2-2.fc18.x86_64

is gtk3.  You can use this to edit the GUI and it will work.  However I
have no idea why it is packaged this way.  I'll try to find out.

Have a nice day,
