I don't think so,
Let's take libxfce4uiglade2.so as an example, it's compiled from a single C source file,
and contains only 3 functions:
```
void       glade_xfce_titled_dialog_post_create        (GladeWidgetAdaptor *adaptor,
                                                        GObject            *object,
                                                        GladeCreateReason   reason);
GtkWidget *glade_xfce_titled_dialog_get_internal_child (GladeWidgetAdaptor *adaptor,
                                                        GtkDialog          *dialog,
                                                        const gchar        *name);
GList     *glade_xfce_titled_dialog_get_children       (GladeWidgetAdaptor *adaptor,
                                                        GtkDialog          *dialog);
```
Which is used by glade
```

    <glade-widget-class-ref name="XfceTitledDialog"/>
  </glade-widget-group>
</glade-catalog>
```
as described by: https://developer.gnome.org/gladeui/stable/catalogintro.html

As far as I can tell, those functions are used to tell glade3
 the supported properties of XfceTitledDialog.


> I.e. the modules are loaded and used by `libgladeui`, which exposes them both to the interface designer itself as well as applications with interfaces designed using GLADE.

I strongly believe that the application itself uses the Gtk+ derived Widget,
those modules were there to tell glade their supported properties.

Anyway, glade3 also ships `./usr/lib/glade/modules/libgladegtk.so` to assist
designer works with gtk+, we don't need it to use gtk+ widget, right?
