Although I am a native English speaker, I still have difficulty
in understanding the above. Here is my attempt to explain this
based upon reading the web pages describing GLADE:

  Note: some UI markup languages don't make use of XML DOM events.
  An example is Glade [1], which is a user interface builder for
  GTK+ [2]. Glade generates XML files that describe the user
  interface. These files are interpreted by libGlade [3] to build
  the user interface at runtime. To use Glade and GTK+ with Widex,
  the WO.Event messages MUST be able to  serialize the GTK+ signals
  that act as UI events, and which are raised by the associated
  GTK+ UI libraries.
