The easiest way to alter glade files is to use the glade tool indeed. The 
downside of this tool it that its changes are fairly noisy which makes diffs 
hard to decipher. But that something we have to live with.

I would prefer to add it to the reconcile top level menu.

The proper channel to discuss this is the gnucash-devel mailing list. I have 
redirected my reply there. You can follow up on that list.

That's appreciated. We can always use some help.

If you manage to get a working change, please create a git pull request on the 
maint branch. You may want to read our wiki pages on git and development 
process for more background as well.

Good luck and have fun!
