You can use XRC files with wxHaskell, although I should note that they
are not currently type-safe (so you will get a crash if you load a
resource and treat it as the wrong type of object (e.g. load a button
into a list box).

Someone (Mads, I think) showed a proof of concept for type safety on
XRC, but I haven't had the time to implement it fully so far.

I use something called wxFormBuilder on Windows to create my XRC
files, which seems a little more complete than wxGlade, although both
will do the job.

There's a sample provided with wxHaskell which shows how to use XRC
files, should you decide to go this way.
