I'm not sure what you are trying to do  exactly but adding a
gtk.Window to a widget is not going to work.  Consider adding the
container (VBox, or HBox ) that is the child of the window

And I know that you cannot add a widget that already has a parent.

So consider unparent() 'ing the widget that you are adding to the vbox.

self.new_comp_glade = self.mwglade.get_widget("new_company")
self.vbox_main = self.mwglade.get_widget("vbox_main")
		
child = self.new_comp_glade.get_child()
if child:
    # remove the child from the top window
    self.new_comp_glade.remove(child)
    self.vbox_main.add(child)
