This is one of the few instances where you do need the native win32 
handle.  I'd suggest creating a window (possibly a gtk.Invisible()) and 
keeping it around for as long as the program runs.  If win is a 
gtk.Window object, the win32 handle can be obtained via 
win.window.handle after the window is realized.

Note that I've never used twain with or without pygtk, so this may not work.

Good luck,

John
