I've gotten rid of the quit methods etc since I don't need them but every
time I hit my ok button (which should just close the about window) does
nothing except the code that acknowledges something happens.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys, os, os.path, gtk.glade, pygtk, gtk
pygtk.require( "2.0" )

def About( obj ):
    wTree = gtk.glade.XML( "musicdb-gui.glade", "dialog1" )
    dic = { "on_BTN_OK_clicked" : About_OK_clicked,
        "on_dialog1_destroy" : Window_Destroyed }
    wTree.signal_autoconnect ( dic )

def About_OK_clicked( obj ):
    ## Button was clicked. ##
    print "0"

def Window_Destroyed( obj ):
    print "Window closed."

That's what I have so far, I moved that into a separate module to easier
manage my code base, am gonna look at my other problem once solving this
one. To be quite honest I don't see that I am doing anything fundamentally
different that prevents my OK button from closing the window :S

Thanks
