[pygtk] GUI design question / palette and horizontal panes

[Mark Mruss]

Hi Skip and Facundo,

Thanks for the replies, I've played with it a bit and I've been able
to get it basically working using two horizontal panes. I'm still
working on the logic a little bit, but I think it's something that
will come after using it for a while.

Does either of you, or anyone else, have any ideas regarding my
"button palette" question? Basically I would like to set something up
like Glade, or The Gimp uses to select the corrent tool. A Small grid
of buttons with only icons on them. So far I've been using a toolbar
with gtk.RadioToolButtons. This "works" however the buttons are too
large (I think for possible text) and I'm thinking that there must be
a better way.
