[pygtk] Cloning Glade notebook tabs?

[John Pye]

Solved my problem:

If you want to create a notebook table with a template layout in glade,
create a new *window* in in Glade, and insert your desired template
content into that. Give the top-level container *inside* your window a
memorable name (lets say 'observervbox').

Then, when you want to add a new templated notebook tab (widget object =
'self.maintabs') to your application:

        _xml = gtk.glade.XML(GLADE_FILE,"observervbox");
        _label = gtk.Label();
        _label.set_text(name)
        self.maintabs.append_page(_xml.get_widget("observervbox"),_label);

Hopefully this is useful to someone eelse as well.

Cheers
