glade on suse 8.2 personal version

Hi, Been hit hard from the hurricane over here, just got power back from thursday (!!). Many people aren't supposed to get power here til friday. Anyways, got Perl's Gtk2 to work, so I wanted to use glade and... get cracking. After I place any item on a window, I can't resize it with the Packing tab, because there is ~nothing~ in the packing tab. I can't draw the item on the window either, since as soon as I click, it places the item full on the window. Any idea what I'm doing wrong or what could be wrong in general?
