glade file can be gziped to save space

PyGTK/glade can read gui from a gziped file. This can be usefull to save space:

    $ du -hs gtkgui.glade.gz 
    48K     gtkgui.glade.gz
    $ du -hs gtkgui.glade 
    752K    gtkgui.glade

This is not really important on regular device where you have plenty of Gb, but on device like PDA where every Kb is important because you have 16, 32 or 64Mb for all system, saving nearly 700Kb is good.
