You shouldn't. This is a very common problem when using liglade to build
a complex application -- the parse of the file has the side-effect of
rendering the window when it's marked as visible.
I've discussed this before, and I'm not sure there is a good solution to
the problem. On one hand, you could ignore the visible attribute for
top-level windows, but that would be violating the 1-1 correspondence
between gladefile and libglade tree which is expected. On the other
hand, you could have Glade make GtkWindows not visible my default; but
then you have a consistency issue between windows and other widgets.
I don't see solutions (beyond stuff like
GladeXML("foo.glade", invisible_windows=1)
which I don't like very much). But maybe somebody else does.
Take care,
