glade does not run on my stable amd64 system, but dies at startup with a segfault. See this archlinux bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/55916 Removing the file /usr/lib/libgda-5.0/plugins/gdaui-entry-text-spec.xml as per that bug report fixes the issue.

Same here. Removing the empty Item <gda_array_data/> on line 17 of /usr/lib/libgda-5.0/plugins/gdaui-entry-text-spec.xml fixes this and glade starts. ervin
Maybe this patch from Arch is for fixing this: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/plain/trunk/fix-crash.diff?h=packages/libgda

Can you retry with an updated system and libgda-5.2.9?
The stable libgda is gnome-extra/libgda-5.2.8-r1, and on my stable system the entire /usr/lib/libgda-5.0 subdirectory is now gone. The stable dev-util/glade-3.36.0 no longer segfaults at startup and runs fine. This bug apparently got fixed in some glade/libgda update some time ago. None of the mentioned packages are even in the tree now. This bug can certainly be closed.
thanks!
