Alright -- we're cooking with Crisco now...

Got libglade 2.6.2 from:

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libglade/2.6/

(and did the by-now much more familiar ./configure,
make, make check, make install process....)

I would point out that the INSTALL file says,
regarding libglade requirement:

* libglade
(http://www.jamesh.id.au/software/libglade/), version
2.0 or later.

I would also point out that besides the fact that it
doesn't seem to *require* anything more recent than
2.0, that link wasn't very useful either (insofar as
trying to find out where to get the right package).

END RESULT: Now my PSPP GUI comes up properly sized,
is resizeable, I have lots of lovely looking buttons
underneath the Menu bar, and no more pesky messages in
the terminal from which I invoked the GUI.

As to what comes with Ubuntu, at this point I have to
say I have no idea.  Searching for libglade packages
(using apt) yielded all sorts of options, and at this
point I've done so many different things I couldn't
say what is original and what's not, but as far as I
could ascertain, NONE of the packages available via
the default apt repositories was the one I wanted --
downloading the tar.gz file from the source listed
above DID work.
