It's not supposed to happen. Mine certainly got filled in without any
help. Perhaps a default font used to get inserted? With a font entry
like yours, my version also burns to cinders in a flurry of

Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkfont.c: line 360 (gdk_char_width): assertion
`font != NULL' failed.

(And as Brian remarked, the libglade seems not to be actually used in
0.65. We just wouldn't tamper any more with the configure program...)
