Just in case anyone here is interested, I filed RH bug #973277 ( 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=973277). The same issue, 
without any reprodutibility information has been reported before at RH 
bug #879835 ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=879835).

Thanks very much for clarifying this to me! For some reason I got 
confused and missed the fact that glade-3 was targeted to GTK2. With the 
glade-3.14.2-2 package I was able to edit the UI XMLs without issues.

Best regards,
