What you need is a glade catalog file which describes your widgets properties, the catalog name and a few other things. You may also have to add an additional catalog path under Edit > Preferences in the dialog section where it says Extra Catalog Paths if the catalog resides outside of the default lookup paths.

For details on how to create a catalog, read the catalogintro.
