Yes it is a bug.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=288445

I had the same problem.  I fixed it by getting libglade2-0 1:2.4.0-1 and using 
dpkg -i to install it downgrading from the libglade2-0 1:2.4.1-1 which 
triggered the problem.
I got libglade2-0 1:2.4.0-1 from here:
http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2004/05/27/debian/pool/main/libg/libglade2/

presuming you are using i386 the file is :
http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2004/05/27/debian/pool/main/libg/libglade2/libglade2-0_2.4.0-1_i386.deb

I changed my /etc/apt/preferences to read:

Package: *
Pin: release a=apt-build
Pin-Priority: 800

Package: libglade2-0
Pin: version 1:2.4-1
Pin-Priority: 1001


Understand, I do not know what I am doing,  I don't understand pinning 
packages, nor do I know what the possible consequences are.  But I have icons 
in synaptic again.
