Set 'Visible' property of the widgets to False in Glade. By default they are
true, so they are displayed when they are created.

IIRC, the second paramenter should be a top-level widget (eg. GtkWindow) --
If it is not, libglade will determine the top-level widget and then use it. I
believe, it is mainly to select one top-level widget from many in that
filename.glade.

Hope that helps.
