Just get the name of you menu entry (using wTree.get_widget() method), and 
change its properties. Then see documentation to retreive the properties 
associated with the menu entry.

You don't need to bind OK/Cancel dialogs buttons signals; the dialogs will 
be closed as soon as you press OK or Cancel.

Look at my code, for example:

http://trac.gbiloba.org/papywizard/browser/trunk/papywizard/controller/generalInfoController.py

I bind signals just to make some special actions before the dialog is 
closed, but I don't cal a quit method.
