[pygtk] General PyGtk design question

[Paco Moreno]

Python is an Object Oriented Language, the correct access to a class
attribute is with class methods. Is a good practice.

The method "set_text" change the label attribute and do other tasks like
redraw the widget. That's the target of object orientation, you don't have
to know how to do the label change, you only have to run the method.
