GladeXML::relative_file
string relative_file(string filename); 
    
     Creates an absolute filename from a relative one.
     The new filename will be absolute to the directory of
     the .glade file. If the filename
     was absolute, it stays untouched.
    
    
     Example: The .glade file is located at
     /data/php/gtk/test.glade and you pass
     "window.xpm" to this function, the result will be
     /data/php/gtk/window.xpm.
