Then I would need all these files to understand what is happening.

Look at the examples.
Start with the short ones, and progress gradually to some more
involved ones.
There is even a combo example.

You may also choose to use lablgladecc, which is a bit less involved
conceptually: no inheritance, you just get the objects and connect
callbacks by hand.  It should be compatible, as it works on the same
glade xml output.

In any case, look at the code, even generated one, it will tell you
how to write your own programs.
