I tried designing using Glade and used it with gtkD. It worked fine on Windows actually. Not native look, but that doesn't matter imho.

I think you may interest in additional aux library for gtkd (for using signals and automatic getting widgets from glade files) https://github.com/deviator/gtkui

Cool, is it like a "strongly typed" access thing? Do you match the variable name with the glade element name and it "just works" or something like that?

The repository contains a bunch of snippets [1], showing off various features. DWT is a port of the Eclipse library SWT [2]. Any documentation or examples for SWT should be applicable to DWT as well.
