In PyGTK gtk.Window.show is the same as gtk.Widget.show:

>>> import gtk
>>> gtk.Widget.show
<method 'show' of 'gtk.Widget' objects>
>>> gtk.Window.show
<method 'show' of 'gtk.Widget' objects>
>>> gtk.Widget.show is gtk.Window.show
True

If you want to be sure you're calling gtk.Widget.show and not an
overridden method, you can call it explicitly with
gtk.Widget.show(window).
