Actually, it is not generating the code properly afterall.  I should have said, it generates code without warnings after changing that <child> line.  I end up with an empty dialog essentially no matter which was the .glade <child> line is.  If clear the directory of all but the .glade file, and set glade to generate c code, there are no warnings and the dialog comes out correctly upon execution.

The linking errors I saw with a file selection dialog were due to makefiles being out of sync with the souce code files.  I cleared the whole directory of all but the .glade, reran glade-- and all was fine, though it does give similar warnings to the above warnings:
FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'cancel_button'
FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'ok_button'
FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'cancel_button'
FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'ok_button'
FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'cancel_button'
FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'ok_button'
FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'cancel_button'
FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'ok_button'
FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'cancel_button'
FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'ok_button'
FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'cancel_button'
FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'cancel_button'
FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'cancel_button'
FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'ok_button'
FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'ok_button'
FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'ok_button'
FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'cancel_button'
Warning: Gtk_Container::AddChild(cancel_button1,,fileselection1->) with child name cancel_button,

FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'ok_button'
Warning: Gtk_Container::AddChild(ok_button1,,fileselection1->) with child name ok_button,

FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'cancel_button'
FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'cancel_button'
FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'ok_button'

FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'ok_button'
FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'cancel_button'
FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'ok_button'
FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'cancel_button'
FileSelection: Unexpected child name 'ok_button'

So, I think that is related to the <child> lines perhaps, because they are similar with the internal child parts in that section of my .glade file.  I can provide that .glade file also.  But, the file selection dialog does not come up empty after comilation, only the plain dialog with a label and text area in it.
