[pygtk] Couple of easy questions (edit)

[Micah Carrick]

Slight modification on the first question... I'm assuming I simply use a 
local variable for builder instead of self.builder and that will be 
taken care of just fine. So what I would have looks something more like:

def __init__(self):
   
        builder = gtk.Builder()
        builder.add_from_file("ui.xml")
       
        self.window = builder.get_object("window")
        self.window.set_default_size(200, 200)
       
        dic = { "on_window_destroy" : self.on_window_destroy,
                    "on_quit_menu_item_activate" : 
self.on_quit_menu_item_activate }
               
        builder.connect_signals(dic)
