Problems changing Loan Druid- Amendment to Glade or glade-fixup?

[Nick]

I had a look at the conversion but I just couldn't get gtkbuilder to 
pull the new assistant object out of the glade file in gtkbuilder folder.

The lines I am using in druid.c are:

#define SX_GLADE_FILE "sched-xact.glade"
#define LOAN_DRUID_GLADE_NAME     "Loan Assistant"

GtkBuilder *builder;
GtkAssistant *assistest;

builder =  gnc_builder_add_from_file (SX_GLADE_FILE, LOAN_DRUID_GLADE_NAME);
assistest = GTK_ASSISTANT (gtk_builder_get_object (builder, 
LOAN_DRUID_GLADE_NAME));

and then fails on

g_assert (assistest !=NULL); before I even try to do anything with it.

Any hints on what else needs to be changed just to get this bit to work? 
Is there another file that tells it to look in gtkbuilder not glade (I 
thought that was what gnc_builder_add_from_file was supposed to sort out?)
  Probably a total noob error but can't think what I am missing (Getting 
frustrated as have trawled hard through the file to get it to compile, 
still a lot more work to go though.) I have checked that the new 
sched-xact.glade is appearing in unstable/share/gnucash/gtkbuilder


(And the start of the additions to the sched-xact.glade file:
<object class="GtkAssistant" id="Loan Assistant">
<property name="border_width">12</property>
<property name="title">Loan and Mortgage Repayment Setup</property>
<child>
<object class="GtkLabel" id="loan_intro_pg">
<property name="visible">True</property>
         ....)
