[pygtk] managing multiple programs and keybindings

[Newell Jensen]

Hi all,

I am new to the list and pygtk and have a few questions that hopefully
someone will be able to shed some light on.  I have a project where I am
creating a single GUI application that manages several already pre-built GUI
programs.  For part of it, I want my application to be able to run any of
these programs within it by clicking on one of the files that the particular
program creates as output or takes as input (the clicking of the file would
occur within my app in a directory tree or something else).  I also would
like it to be able to have mutltiple files up at once (different ones too so
that means having multiple programs running) on different tabs.

Basically I am wondering how to do this.  These programs are already
pre-built and basically I want to create my application to manage these
programs and be able to jump from "Active" control of one to the other
depending on which file is "Active".  I also need to make sure that what
ever file and program are "Active" I also have the proper key bindings etc
since the users of these programs are used to them.  I don't want to take
anything away from these programs.

Any suggestions on how I would do any of this would be wonderful and I look
forward to people's suggestions.  Thanks.

Newell Jensen
