[pygtk] Accessing child widgets via instance variables

[Dominic Salemno]

Greetings,

If my_win is already an instance of GtkWindow then to show it you merely 
do something along this line: my_win.show()

You should not have to do anything afterwards. If my_win does not 
represent your window, what is this representing? If something else 
entirely, choose a different variable name. Perhaps you could paste more 
code for us to see?

Your variable, if it indeed defines a GtkWindow, should be declared as 
follows:

    self.my_win = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)

Even if my_win is instantiating a custom class which in turn is 
inheriting from gtk.Window, you would still perform the following to 
show the window: self.my_win.show()

If this is not working, please paste more code.

Sincerely, Dominic Salemno.
